Geocache Description:


STARI DEDEC
V Stajah pri Igu, le nekaj korakov z glavne ceste, je na ogled zanimivost iz rimskih časov - v živo skalo vklesan nagrobni napis, ki ga, kdo ve zakaj, domačini imenujejo "Stari dedec". Na območju Iga so arheologi našli prek sto rimskih kamnitih nagrobnikov, rimske žarne grobove in zgodnjekrščanske oljenke. Tod je vodil tudi rimski zaporni zid, ki je bil v dobi rimskega cesarstva, v 3. in 4. stoletju, utrjen obrambni pas z obrambnimi trdnjavami, obzidanimi naselji, stražnimi stolpi in mitnicami za plačilo cestne pristojbine. V 7. in 8. stoletju je prav ta zid ponazarjal naselitveno mejo Slovanov. Od Iga mimo Staj, Kota, Iške vasi proti Iškemu Vintgarju lahko sledimo pešpoti ob rimskih zapornih zidovih.

STARI DEDEC (THE OLD MAN)
At Staje near Ig, just a few steps from the main road, there is a curiosity that dates back to the Roman times - an epitaph engraved in a live rock. The locals call it "The Old Man", although nobody knows why. In the area of Ig, archaeologists have discovered over a hundred Roman tombstones and urngraves, as well as Early Christian oil lamps. Here, a Roman fortification wall used to stand, which was in the 3rd and 4th centuries, during the Roman Empire, part of the Roman defence line with numerous fortresses, walled-in settlements, watchtowers, and tollhouses where road taxes had to be paid. In the 7th and 8th centuries, this very wall depicted the settlement line of the Slavs. From Ig past Staje, Kot, Iška vas towards Iški Vintgar, we can follow the footpath leading along this Roman fortification wall.
