Malvesa

Malvesa was a town founded by the Romans in the extreme northeastern part of the province of Dalmatia in the second century AD. It was a new town in a relatively remote area intended principally as a mining center.

Other towns were also established around the same time in northeast Dalmatia, also as mining colonies, including Domavia (now Gradina), Argentaria (near a silver mine), and the municipium S. (the name survives only as an abbreviation) near what is now Pljevlja in northern Montenegro.
