The goal of this MA thesis is to integrally reconstruct for the first time the economic life in Sirmium and its city territory and changes in the dynamism of this economic life from the beginning of the Roman rule (the transition from the Old into the New Era) until the fall of the city under the Huns in the fifth decade of the fifth century on the basis of the available archaeological and written sources. The branches of the economic life analysed in this thesis are agriculture and animal husbandry, bone industry, leatherworking, obtaining and processing wood, brick production, pottery making, metal processing, glass-making, obtaining and processing stone, art such as mosaics and wall-paintings and slave ownership.
