Nezakcij (Vizače, Latin: Nesactium), a prehistoric, ancient and late-ancient town on the Glavica hill near Valtura, east of Pula. The first information date back from ancient written sources (Titus Livius, XLI, II, 4-16) and were confirmed by the finds of the votive altar to the Emperor Gordian (3rd century) where the ResPublica Nesactiensium is mentioned. After the siege in 177 B.C. the Romans razed the town, and built a new one in the same place. The forum with three temples was built in the central plateau, where also spacious thermae and other public and private buildings were built. The remains of sumptuous private buildings can be found on the slopes, whilst a rich necropolis spread along the road that led from Pula to the town. As the Roman state was gradually growing weaker, indicative changes occurred: from an ancient municipium the town was transformed into a Late Antiquity settlement. The rooms of the spacious thermae were transformed into dwelling and economic premises, whilst during the 5th century the southern part was refurbished into two monumental basilicas. The town survived the fall of the Roman Empire and the upcoming of the Christianity , but did not resist the barbaric attacks in the beginning of the 7th century.
