On the attempts to locate the “inhabited cities” of porphyrogennetos’ Pagania a historiographic overview with special reference to controversial issues
Apstrakt
In this paper there was made an attempt at determining more precisely the
location of the four “inhabited cities” (κάστρα οíκούμενα) of Pagania,
mentioned in the De administrando imperio of Constantine Porphyrogennetos:
Mokron (τò Μόκρον), Beroullia (τò Βερούλλια), Ostrok (τò Oστρωκ) и Slavinetza
(ή Σλαβίνετζα). Having considered the results previously established in
historiography in connection to the issue, the author concludes that Mokron
(Makr) was probably situated in the village of Makar beneath Mt. Biokovo, and
that Beroullia (Vrulja) was identical with Vrulja near Podgora. Ostrok
(Ostrog), in accordance with generally accepted oppinion, is to be located in
the immediate vicinity of today’s Zaostrog, at the foot of the Mt. Viter,
while, considering Slavinetza, it is assumed that it was situated in the
region of the Baćina lakes, near the ruins of Sladinac, where are the
remnants of the old Church of St Andrew, although the possibility that it
should be searched for ...in the area of today’s Gradac, near the Slavinjac
spring, mentioned in a description of Gradac from 1863, should not be
excluded]
