The first neolithic settlements in this area date back to the Butmir culture in the 3rd millennium BC.
Following neolithic people, the next known inhabitants were the Illyrian tribes in the 2nd millenium BC in Zlatiste and Soukbunar regions.
Illyrian tribes were fighting against the Romans for several centuries, until they were defeated in the year 9. As a part of the Roman Empire, the Sarajevo valley was an important road connecting the Adriatic coast with Panonia.
Roman presence can be detected in several localities, including Debelo Brdo, where military posts were held until the 6th century, Ilidza, the administrative and cultural center of this area, and Crkviste, Stupsko Brdo, Crkvina, Svrakino Selo, Marijin Dvor, and Vasiljeva Basca, to name a few.
