Big public baths and 5 bridges in ancient Roman town Salona(Croatia,Solin)
Short description:
The great cityy thermae/baths
The baths, 'thermae', are an amenity typical of the Roman civilisation and therefore constituted an indispensable part of the Roman urban culture. They were the venu of intensive social and cultural life.
Remains of a number of both private and public baths have discovered in Salona. The best preserved are the so-called Great City Thermae built at the end of the 2nd or the beginning of the 3rd century A.D. in the east part of the town. The building is rectangular in shape with three symmetrically arranged apses in the north and one in the west.
The complex of the thermae was reached from the south side and in the centre there was an open yard with a porch. To the north there was an adjoining elongated spacious room, housing a semicircular pool, the 'piscina', filled with cold water, the 'frigidarium'. To the left there were two dressing rooms, with benches for sitting and openings in the wall for clothes. The room to the west was also used as a massage room, the 'unctorium'. The room ending with an apse served both as a lounge and an exercise room. To the right there were hot baths and the sauna: 'caldarium', 'tepidarium', and 'sudatorium'.
The Salonitan thermae were heated in a usual way - by hypocaustics. From the furnace room, the 'preafurnium', the hot air was conducted between the hypocaustic bars and, circulating through hollow ceramic tubes, the 'tubuli', heated the rooms. The thermae were finely decorated, which is evident from the remnants of frescoes on the walls and fragments of mosaics covering the floor.
Two crosses cut into the stone lintels by the eastern wall of the 'caldarium' bear witness to the fact that in the late antiquity the City Thermae were used by the Salonitan Christians as well.
The five bridges
...,outside the walls enclosing the old city, 'Urbs vetus', westernmost backwater of the Jadro was flowing. In the 1st century B.C. it was built five-arch bridge supported by massive pylons. It was constructed from finely chiselled stones arranged in a regular pattern and connected with mortar. The bridge was situated on an important regional road which was a continuation of the old city main communication, 'decumanus maximus'. The road was passing through the eastern city gate, the so-called 'Porta Caesarea' and, in the immediate vicinity of the bridge, branched into two roads. First was leading towards the north-east to the so-called 'Porta Andetria' and further into the hinterland, and the other across the bridge in the direction of 'Epetium' (Stobreč) and further southwards along the Adriatic coast. As early as the 1st century B.C. alongside this road necropoles grew, many of them being gradually abandoned as the city was spreading eastwards.
In the late antiquity a building was eracted to the north of the bridge whose exact purpose has not been established. It is believed to have been either a textile and dying workshop or an olive oil manufacture. To the west of the bridge there is a road paved with stone of irregular pattern, as well as remnants of residential buildings.

Salona was an ancient city and capital of Dalmatae in the time of the Roman empire. Dalmatae is modern day Dalmatia, part of Croatia, and Salona is modern day Solin. Colonia Martia Iulia Salona (full name of the ancient city) was founded after the Roman civil wars under Julius Caesar, but it's roots date back in the time of the Greeks. In the time of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, he built a palace nearby, this structure, known as Diocletian's Palace, became the core of the modern city of Split. Salona was destroyed in the invasions of the Avars and Slavs in the sixth and seventh centuries CE. Today only shells remain of this ancient city and they are in order of appearance: Amphitheatre, Basilica of the Five Martyrs, Theatre & Forum, Five Bridges, Episcopal center & city baths and Manastirine.

Living On The Front Line - Croatia 1993
The Croatian War of Independence was fought from 1991 to 1995 between forces loyal to the government of Croatia which had declared independence from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFR Yugoslavia)—and the Serb-controlled Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) and local Serb forces, with the JNA ending its combat operations in Croatia by 1992. In Croatian, the war is primarily referred to as the Homeland War (Croatian: Domovinski rat) and also as Greater-Serbian aggression (Croatian: Velikosrpska agresija). In the Serbian language, the phrase War in Croatia (Serbian: Rat u Hrvatskoj) is the most common name.
Initially, the war was waged between Croatian police forces and Serbs living in the Republic of Croatia, a constituent republic of SFR Yugoslavia at the time. As the JNA came under increasing Serbian influence in Belgrade, many of its units began assisting the Serbs fighting in Croatia.[40] The Croatian side aimed to establish a sovereign country independent of Yugoslavia, and the Serbs, supported by Serbia, opposed the secession and wanted Croatia to remain a part of Yugoslavia. The Serbs effectively sought new boundaries in areas of Croatia with a Serb majority or significant minority, and attempted to conquer as much of Croatia as possible.The goal was primarily to remain in the same state with the rest of the Serbian nation, which was interpreted as an attempt to form a Greater Serbia by Croats (and Bosniaks). In 2007, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) returned a guilty verdict against Milan Martić, one of Serb leaders in Croatia, stating that he colluded with Slobodan Milošević and others to create a unified Serbian state.
At the beginning of the war, the JNA tried to forcefully keep Croatia in Yugoslavia by occupying the whole of Croatia. After they failed to do this, Serbian forces established the self-proclaimed Republic of Serbian Krajina (RSK) within Croatia. By the end of 1991, most of Croatia was gravely affected by war, with numerous cities and villages heavily damaged in combat operations, and the rest supporting hundreds of thousands of refugees. After the ceasefire of January 1992 and international recognition of the Republic of Croatia as a sovereign state, the front lines were entrenched, United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) was deployed, and combat became largely intermittent in the following three years. During that time, the RSK encompassed 13,913 square kilometers (5,372 sq mi), more than a quarter of Croatia. In 1995, Croatia launched two major offensives known as Operation Flash and Operation Storm, which would effectively end the war in its favor. The remaining United Nations Transitional Authority for Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium (UNTAES) zone was peacefully reintegrated into Croatia by 1998.
The war ended with a total Croatian victory, as Croatia achieved the goals it had declared at the beginning of the war: independence and preservation of its borders. However, much of Croatia was devastated, with estimates ranging from 21--25% of its economy destroyed and an estimated USD $37 billion in damaged infrastructure, lost output, and refugee-related costs. The total number of deaths on both sides was around 20,000, and there were refugees displaced on both sides at some point: Croats mostly at the beginning of the war, and Serbs mostly at the end. While many people returned, and Croatia and Serbia progressively cooperated more with each other on all levels, some ill will remains because of verdicts by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and lawsuits filed against each other.
Rimski žrtvenik u Zadru
U prosincu prošle godine radnici su na Poluotoku, kopajući odvodne kanale, naišli na ostatke drevnog Jadera, rimske kolonije na našoj strani Jadrana. No nitko nije ni sanjao da će se ondje naći i jedan unikatni spomenik, vrijedan žrtvenik iz tog doba.

This is a song by Kries (lyrics: traditional Croatian song), recorded on one of their rehearsals.
The song is about two sisters...the interpretation of the words is, well, up to your own feeling.
Happy b'day, Andor and Martin!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Antioch on the Orontes (; Ancient Greek: Ἀντιόχεια ἡ ἐπὶ Ὀρόντου, Antiókheia hē epì Oróntou; also Syrian Antioch) was an ancient Greek city on the eastern side of the Orontes River. Its ruins lie near the modern city of Antakya, Turkey, and lends the modern city its name.
Antioch was founded near the end of the fourth century BC by Seleucus I Nicator, one of Alexander the Great's generals. The city's geographical, military, and economic location benefited its occupants, particularly such features as the spice trade, the Silk Road, and the Royal Road. It eventually rivaled Alexandria as the chief city of the Near East. the city was the capital of the Seleucid Dynasty until 63 B.C. when the Romans took control. They made it the seat of the Roman governor. From the early 4th century the city was the seat of the count of the Orient (the title of this vicar of the praetorian prefects), head of the regional administration of sixteen provinces. It was also the main center of Hellenistic Judaism at the end of the Second Temple period. Antioch was one of the most important in the eastern Mediterranean area of Rome's dominions.
Antioch was called the cradle of Christianity as a result of its longevity and the pivotal role that it played in the emergence of both Hellenistic Judaism and early Christianity. The Christian New Testament asserts that the name Christian first emerged in Antioch. It was one of the four cities of the Syrian tetrapolis, and its residents were known as Antiochenes. The city was a metropolis of a quarter million people during Augustan times, but it declined to relative insignificance during the Middle Ages because of warfare, repeated earthquakes, and a change in trade routes, which no longer passed through Antioch from the far east following the Mongol invasions and conquests.
