Margum (city)

Margum (Latin: Margum, Greek: Μάργος [Márgos]) was an ancient Roman and early medieval Byzantine fortified city, now an archeological site situated in Dubravica, near the present-day Požarevac (Serbia). Located near the confluence of Great Morava and Danube, ancient Margum got its name from the Latin name of river Margus (Great Morava), while the later medieval city, renewed on the same site in the 9th century, got its name Morava (Greek: Μοράβος) or Moravski (Greek: Μορόβισκον) from the Slavic name for the same river.
