Gavro Škrivanić outlines in his study on the roads in medieval Serbia that the Via Egnatia connected Rome and Constantinople via Macedonia. Although a vast variety of secondary literature has been published on the Via Egnatia, some parts of its route still remain obscure, for instance the section between Ohrid and Resen. The archaeologist Viktor Lilčikj Adams has argued for a multi-layered approach to this question and stated rightly that: "[…] a serious scholarly reconstruction requires new detailed field and cabinet archaeological research with modern research methodologies and adequate sophisticated field and office equipment." The same scholar distinguishes for the section Ohrid – Resen between a summer and a winter road. The summer road led from Ohrid to Velgošti and via the mountain of Istok (1661 m altitude) and the village of Petrino to Resen, which is the most direct and shortest way between Ohrid and Resen. The winter road offers three variants: The first ran from Ohrid via Kosel, Opejnca, Zavoj, the pass of Bukovo (1207 m altitude) to Resen, which is the longest and safest section. The second variant connected Ohrid, Leskoec, circumvented the elevation of Bigla (1228 m altitude) to the South-East of Opejnca, crossed the pass of Bukovo and reached Resen via Izbište. The third led from Ohrid to Leskoec, Skrebatno, Ilino and Resen. In our case we have emphasised and embedded the summer road.
