<!-- for references: use It can be assumed that the inhabitants who settled in this period were Illyrians, who lived from the 3rd century BC. They were oppressed by the Romans and subjugated in the first century BC. The fact that the area remained inhabited during Roman times is demonstrated by the remains of an ancient Roman camp located in Gračine (a district of Humac) and the results of archaeological research projects carried out in the hinterland of the city. Based on excavations in Gračine, which revealed numerous valuables such as coins, vases, jewellery, glasses, tools and weapons, it was long suspected that the ruins there were the remains of an ancient trading city called Bigeste. It is now assumed that the exposed remains of the wall were a more luxurious Auxiliary camp in which veterans were also quartered.
