Koviljkin grad

Roman stone near Banja Koviljka

Koviljkin Grad ( Cyrillic Ковиљкин град ) was the name of a legendary ancient and medieval town in what is now the center of Loznica County , in western Serbia .

The city was probably built as the vicus of the Romans . Today it is occasionally identified with the ancient place Gensis . According to the Tabula Peutingeriana , this settlement was south of Sirmium on the road towards the Drina in the northwest of the Moesia superior . However, the assumption has been made just as often that Gensis can be identified with the Serbian town of Lešnica .

The ruins of this settlement, which have not yet been archaeologically examined, are located near the industrial town of Banja Koviljača . This was first mentioned in a document in 1533 and is therefore not necessarily identical to its ancient predecessor.
