In the 5th and 4th centuries BC, the Illyrian tribes of Pleraei and Ardiaei settled in this area. In the 2nd century BC the Romans developed an important trade and maritime center at the intersection of Roman roads on the site of the Greek colony of Epidaurus. Konavle gets its name from the Latin word canalis, and refers to the irrigation canals that supplied water from the spring in the village of Vodovađa via Kuna Konavoska to Epidaurus. In addition to the remains of the Roman aqueduct near the village of Vodovađa, there are remains of villae rusticae, cult monuments (the Mithraic monument in Močići), graves, the remains of the Roman road above Cavtat, and numerous fragments and archaeological finds.
