Puljić stated that the ancient roads and settlements in the area of eastern Herzegovina are not very well known. According to his reading of the "Historia Salonita Maior", he located Novense (Neuense) and identifies it with the Neum area (Neon, Novum) in the medieval district of Žapska (Zažablje) or Nevesinje in eastern Herzegovina (fig. 6). To corroborate his thesis, he enumerated several ancient sites and objects from the Neum area.
