*which
it's of course my city
altough small, I love it because it's mine
The oldest city in Europe (2nd in the world), the city of Vinkovci
the last one is the habitant of neanderthals
The city is inhabited since 6300 BC (continuely habited for 8300 years)
The town has the oldest serial metal production in the world
(3000-2600 BC)
The oldest calendar in whole of Europe was found here (Orion)
It was created in the same time as the Egyptian and Sumerian calendars but here the stars are much more definiable, and the zones mark autumn,spring,summer and winter
In 4th century the town had 10 000 people while London in the same time had 40 000
2 Roman emperors were born here (Valens and Valentinijan)
2 Christian martyrs (Eusebie and Polion)
During the Turkish conquests the cities population has gone down to only 20 people (from it's glorious days of almost 10 000 in the 4th century)
Today the town has 35 000 people and we're sort of an archeological El Dorado
Every time something is digged, something is found
For example Akvilas silver (over 36 kilograms of Roman silver dishes)
But unfortunately, altough such rich history
Everything found is sent out to other museums, and our town has the biggest unemployment rate in our country
With 35 000 people (23 000 capable of working)
16 000 are unemployed
If you follow UFC, you've heard of Cro Cop, he's from our town
We have much more local celebrities (but they're big only in our country
)
