In the region of the city of Daruvar, once the site of
the Roman settlement of Aquae Balissae, the administrative center of the tribe of the Iasi, known in the
sources as res publica Iasorum and municipium Iasorum, no systematic archaeological excavation has been
performed to the present. The little that can be stated
about Aquae Balissae has resulted from the compilation and comparison of scientific interpretations of
various source material: scanty literary sources, chance
finds of epigraphic and sculptural monuments, archaeological finds from test trenches and rescue excavations of limited extent, above-ground traces of ancient
fortifications, the topography and toponomy of the
Daruvar basin, as well as the documented general characteristics of the archaeological landscape of northwestern Croatia and western Slavonia between the
Sava and Drava Rivers.
