The name Promina comes from the Liburnian city of Promona, first mentioned in writing in the year 51 BC, when the Dalmatae captured the Liburnian city and moved its borders to the river Krka. In the year 34 BC the Romans, who had already established a military camp in Burnum (today's Šupljaja), led by Emperor Octavian helped the Liburnians, retook Promona and razed it. The name derives from lat. pro mans – to protrude behind a hill, which corresponds with the fact that Promona was located in the area of today's Tepljuh, occupying a very important strategic position between the Petrovo Polje and the Kosovo Polje.  Learn more ...
