Romans[1] subdued the Greek colonial cities in the 3rd century BC.
They imposed an organization based on a military-economical
system. Furthermore, the Romans subdued the Illyrians in the first
century BC and organized the entire coastal territory by
transforming the citadels into urban cities. After that the history of
these parts is the history of Illyrian provinces of the Roman Empire.
Numerous rustic villas, and new urban settlements (the most
impressive are Verige in Brijuni, Pula and Trogir - formerly
Tragurion) demonstrate the high level of Roman urbanization.
There were at least thirty urban cities in Istria, Liburnia and
Dalmatia with Roman citizenship (civitas). The best-preserved
networks of Roman streets (decumanus/cardo) are those in Epetion
(Poreč) and Jader (Zadar). The most perfectly preserved Roman
monuments are in Pola (Pula); founded in the first century
dedicated to Julius Caesar. It is full of classical Roman art such as:
stone walls, two city gates, two temples on the Forum, and remains
of two theaters, as well as the Arch from the year 30 AD, and the
temple of Augustus built in the years 2 to 14 AD, and finally the
Fluvian Amphitheater (so called – Arena) from the 2nd century. In
the 3rd century AD, the city of Salona became the largest (it had
40,000 inhabitants) and most important city of Dalmatia. Near the
city emperor Diocletian, born in Salona, built Diocletian's Palace around year the 300 AD,
[2] which is the
largest and most important monument of late antique architecture in the world. On its pathways, cellars,
domes, mausoleums, arcades and courtyards we can trace numerous different art influences from the entire
Empire. In the 4th century, Salona became the center of Christianity for the entire western Balkans. It had
numerous basilicas and necropolises, and even two saints: Domnius (Duje) and Anastasius (Staš).
One of few preserved basilicas in western Europe (besides the ones in Ravenna) from the time of early
Byzantium is Euphrasian Basilica in Poreč from the 6th century. The early Middle Ages brought the great
migration of the Slavs and this period was perhaps a Dark Age in the cultural sense until the successful
formation of the Slavic states which coexisted with Italic cities that remained on the coast, each of them
modelled after Venice.
