The region was inhabited since prehistoric times. At the beginning of the 1st century BC, the Romans built a fortified encampment at the site of today Ljubljana, which was known as Emona, the cantonment had a population of 5,000 to 6,000 people, mostly merchants and craftsmen.

The settlement was located at a major trade route between the northern Adriatic Sea and the Danube region. The Ljubljanica river played an important role as a transport route for the trade between the city and the rest of the region. In the Middle Ages the town was the historical capital of Carniola, then part of Austria-Hungary, and known as Laibach in German.
