Narona

Narona was an ancient town on the lower Neretva, at modern Vid near Metković in southern Croatia. It began as a Greek trading post dealing with the Illyrian peoples of the interior and became an important Roman colony and administrative centre of the province of Dalmatia. Excavations uncovered a temple of the imperial cult with a group of marble statues, now shown in the local museum.
