The oldest script ever found in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Humacka Ploca, is exhibited here. This stone-carved slate written in Glagolithic is said to date back to the 10th century. The museum has a significant collection of relics from the Roman settlements including jewelry, weapons, helmets and hand-carved tombstones. Many of the excavated items come from the ruins of a Roman military camp, Bigeste, near the monastery.
