Ljubljana - Ljubljanica, the river of seven names The Ljubljanica river, which is also called The River of Seven Names, is the lower reaches of a karst river which on its way towards Ljubljana disappears underground a number of times and springs again at different places, every time under a different name. It is believed that the first bridge across the Ljubljanica river was built back in Roman times, most probably somewhere between the present Cobblers' Bridge (Čevljarski most) and Šentjakob Bridge (Šentjakobski most). The Ljubljanica river often flooded until the course of the river was thoroughly improved in the first half of the 20th century. www.ljubljana.si /en/sights/ljubljanica_bridges/default.html   (276 words)

Archeological diving The Ljubljanica riverbed was known as an archaeological site for some time then as numerous objects had been pulled out from the riverbed during net-fishing and regular cleaning of the riverbed with a dredge. It is possible to suppose that the divers in the Ljubljanica used the diving suit only, without the tank and the regulator, unless this would have been against the rigid security regulations of the Navy. During the work in the Ljubljanica they also used a spade and a mesh bag for finds that were lifted to the surface by a dredge. www.divingheritage.com /archeologykern.htm   (2589 words)

A Slovenian river full of ancient treasures - Archaeo Forums That would explain why generations of Celts, Romans, and earlier inhabitants offered treasures — far too many to be accidental — to the river during rites of passage, in mourning, or as thanksgiving for battles won. But Gaspari may never be able to explain for certain why the Ljubljanica holds one of Europe's richest stores of river treasures, many of them remarkably preserved by the soft sediments and gentle waters.
