Praevalis. Obrazovanje kulturnog prostora kasnoantičke provincije

Abstract

The main aim of this book is to present this liminal territory, in which the impacts from the East and the West created specific culture different from any other, the continuity of which can be traced from the Illyrians until the Late Antiquity and even later, up to the Early Middle Ages. This more than millennium long tradition, dominated first by the diverse pagan divinities, local as well as universal, and afterward by the Christian God, enabled the forming of a cultural syncretism which endured on this territory throughout the period in question, thanks to its regional as well as general geographic position, between steep mountains and generous sea on the most important Mediterranean crossroad.
