The Bor District ( Serbian: Борски округ, romanizedBorski okrug, pronounced [bôːrskiː ôkruːɡ]; Romanian: Districtul Bor) is one of nine administrative districts of Southern and Eastern Serbia. It has a population of 101,100 inhabitants, according to the 2022 census results. The administrative center of the Bor district is the city of Bor and the judicial one, due to tradition, Negotin. This district is the easternmost district of Serbia and contains the Serbian panhandle that extends into the Romanian border.

History

The Triballi dominated the region before the Roman conquest in the 1st century BC that weakened and subdued the Paleo-Balkan tribes. The Triballi, a Triballi-Dacian tribe, were defeated by the Roman army under Marcus Licinius Crassus, the consul of 30 BC. The region was organized into Moesia Inferior in 87 AD by Emperor Domitian.

Hellenistic religious influence is attested through archeological findings in Rovine and Tamnič where Heracles was worshipped, a relief of Zeus, Herakles and Dionysos found in Bukovo. [1]

The Roman site of Selište with necropolis has been excavated in the village of Rogljevo. Silver and gold fibulae from 250–320 AD have been found at sites in Negotin. [2]
