Šašel Kos, Marjeta: River as a divinity: the Sava River in the Roman period

Rivers have always been the most natural communication routes linking settlements and countries; the Sava River represented a part of such a route starting on the Ljubljanica River near Nauportus (Vrhnika), and continuing along the Sava and the Danube to the Black Sea. Navigation on the Sava was very important in prehistory and even more so in Antiquity. The god Savus was worshipped along the entire course of the Sava River. In the settlement called Sava, a sanctuary to the goddess Adsalluta and Savus was found.
