Workshop “Speak Latin So That the Whole World Can Understand You” Held
The topic of the workshop, which was attended by students from two Gymnasiums – from Vrnjačka Banja and Kraljevo with Latin teachers Slađana Opačić and Sanja Bižić, was women in Roman poetry, which is represented in it through different images and roles.

Lecture by Ilija Danković “Aurelia from Viminacium: From Puella to Matron” Held
In his presentation, Ilija Danković, PhD, presented the entire life path of a particular woman, whose grave was found in Viminacium, and whose name was Aurelia Teodota. This story is partly fictitious and partly based on archaeological records, but in any case, it is very plausible, when it comes to this particular person and the reconstruction of her entire life as an exemplary matron of Roman society.

Social Turmoil in Konarevo in 1824
The final break with the Ottoman feudal society and the liberation of Serbia began with the First and Second Serbian Uprisings. After 1815, Miloš Obrenović continued his independence through diplomatic activities, and at the beginning he managed to collect and pay imperial taxes instead of the Turks, and then, in the name of the people, to lease the imperial spahilukas. In the next step, he becomes an intermediary between the raja of the Serbs and their spahis. Miloš’s mediation between the raja and spahi is evidenced by a letter to Ismail spahi, in which he complains to the people from Konarevo in September 1824 that they do not respect him in the manner and order that was valid until recently.
