The location of Emona overlaps with the southwest part of the old nucleus of the modern city of Ljubljana.
In a rectangle with a central square or forum and a system of rectangular intersecting streets, Emona was laid out as a typical Roman town.
According to Roman custom, there were cemeteries along the northern, western, and eastern thoroughfares into the city – from the directions of Celeia, Aquileia, and Neviodunum.
The wider area surrounding the town saw the development of typical Roman countryside: villages, hamlets, estates, and brickworks.
