Known for its educational institutions, which continue a long history of education in this region, Ruma is also a center for food production and agricultural development, reflecting its importance in economic and social terms. Gradually, during the period of the Roman Empire, military camps that emerged in these areas developed into settlements, and the population adopted Roman culture, enriching their own identity. In addition to Sirmium, which was exceptionally significant in this region, Ruma highlighted its importance as a craft center, educational center, and religious sanctuary.
