Il fut occupe des le 3e millenaire av. J.-C., s'etendit au 2e millenaire par la construction d'une ville basse, connut ses heures de gloire comme ville administrative a l'epoque assyrienne, puis neobabylonienne, du 13e au 6e siecle av. J.-C. La ville s'agrandit encore au 7e siecle av. J.-C. d'une seconde ville basse, dont l'auteur traite ici. En effet, les ruines de ce site furent utilisees par les habitants pour y installer leur necropole.

The small village is located in the northeast of the Zadrima plain which extends between the modern cities of Shkodra and Lezha, formerly the ancient poleis of Skodra and Lissos. The site which is situated on a hill is marked by a rugged rock surface. The remarkably rich finds consist chiefly of sherds from fine Hellenistic ceramics and further of terracotta fragments from a female deity as well as Hellenistic coins and metal objects. In addition, there were some vessel fragments and coins from the period of Late Antiquity. Not one single object could be attributed to the Roman Period (1st–3rd centuries AD).

The city has a forum and several temples, but it seems to lack residential quarters. Inscriptions point to the city's founding in the Flavian period, but it may also be possible that it was founded in the Augustean period. A planned German-Montenegrin project aims to carry out new excavations as well as to reexamine the areas already excavated. The potential of such investigations already became evident during a first visit. A newly found relief fragment and a well-known gable relief can be assigned to a temple, which so far has hardly been noticed.

The site of the castrum is situated in the archaeologically unexplored valley of Gjader. It has so far been assumed that it’s function was intended for the road’s security. However, in this context it has not been taken into consideration that in early modern times silver mines were exploited in the mountainous region northeast of Lissus as well as copper mines in the 20th century, as also reported by early explorers. The castrum’s primary function had possibly served the control of the river valley and the area’s ore mining activities.

The site is located in the North Albanian mountains, in the valley of the rivers Gjader and Voma. A coin of Maximinus Daia (308–313 AD) found in a lime kiln that dated to the time of the castrum’s erecting, furnishes a terminus post quem for the fortification, whose construction probably started shortly later in the early 3rd century AD. Wall foundations recorded inside the castrum in context with ceramics from the 5th and 6th centuries AD indicate that the castrum was still used at this time, but no longer for military purposes.

Protection from mountain tribes, the role as a station, and the organisation of ore mining were discussed. The last campaign of the project in autumn 2018 has been devoted primarily to these issues. Although copper deposits were found in the fort's immediate vicinity, they apparently hadn't mined here in ancient times. The castrum probably served to secure the nearby via Lissus – Naissus as well as the mountainous hinterland of the Zadrima plain.
