Cultural heritage can be used as a base for economic and regional development. We have chosen to use an economic model that already proved to be functional, prosperous and financially sustainable, That is the model of Viminacium, Roman city and miliary camp. {in only six years we have created archaeological park that only during last year over 55.000 tourists visited by land: and additional 10.000 came via river cruises along Danube. The fact is that more than 600 tourist river cruisers pass along Danube with more than 200,000 visitors aboard. This model of presentation of archaeological sites was already promoted on all major tourist fairs in Milan, Berlin, London, Cologne, Pestum and so on, Presentation and rapid development of this site is a basic development model that is applied in general planning for all other sites. Examples of Pompeii in italy and Viminacium in Serbia are the best examples of prosperous archaeological sites that attract large numbers of visitors. FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT Project is planned not as focal cultural route, but as intermational project linking all cultural projects and routes related to Roman archaeology and Roman emperors. That plan is already emphasized on main project map where ‘we marked the routes to closest and most important related roman ctties. Project is nevertheless open tor all international cooperation, Roman Empire vas predecessor of European Union and modem borders do not correspond to Roman provinces. Because of that Projects related to Roman age should not be observed through present day national fiters which could narrow presentation and vision of the Roman Empire and its Emperors. Full presentation of Roman heritage could be achieved only throuigh international cooperation what many exhibitions so far proved. Thematic exhibitions as “Constantine the Great” in Trier, "Hadrian empire and confict” in London, "Rome and Barbarians” in Venice and so on, prove that international vision of the empire is essential to understanding our past. Roman cities as Aquincum, Sopianae, intercissa, Mursa, Siscia, Spalato, Pola, Emona, Poetovio, Ncopolis, Osecus, Barenemn
