After receiving his doctorate in the field of prehistory and classical archaeology from the University of Vienna in 1921 he was employed as a librarian in the University's Archaeological-Epigraphic Seminar. In 1922 he moved to Belgrade, as the head of the Prehistoric, Roman and Numismatic Department in the Yugoslavian National Museum. In 1926 he became the associate professor of prehistory, classical archeology and numismatics at the University of Ljubljana, from 1937 as the full professor. In 1942 Saria moved to University of Graz, to teach ancient Roman art and epigraphy.
In 1945 his academic career ended prematurely due to forced retirement.[1][2]
