Abstract

The paper presents data on consular beneficiary stations in Kosovo and Metohija (the south of the province of Gornja Mezija). It is about beneficiary inscriptions which were found near roads which intersected Kosovo and Metohija from the north to south areas (Narona–Scupi) and from the southwest to northeast areas (Lissus–Naissus). Consular beneficiries were legionaries legio VII Claudiae and legio IV Flaviae in these stations. A critical review of the function and the position of consular beneficiaries, who were the guardians of public safety, is given as well.
