ABSTRACT: In this paper we discuss the archeology of architecture on the example of the monastery of St. Michael on the Prevlaka island in Boka Kotorska. This part of archeology is almost unknown to archaeological science in Montenegro, and it is based on the experience of researching the Old Town of Bar in the period between 2004 and 2012, although it has been present in European archaeological science for decades. The Church of the Saint Michael on Prevlaka is a multi-layered building, which was systematically researched in 1956. and 1957, and in the period between 1997. and 2005., when it was completely excavated. It was built on the foundations of an early Byzantine church from the 6th century, and in the 9th or 10th century it was remodeled for the Benedictine monastery, which was demolished in the first half of the 11th century. Around 1220, the ruined remains of the basilica were rebuilt for the purpose of the bishopric of Zeta, which was enthroned on Prevlaka in this period. In the paper, we tried to show the methods of masonry of both eras, which especially refers to the altar area, which, according to new studies, was rebuilt on the foundations of an older basilica from the 9th/10th century. Also, primarily on the basis of comparing the vertical and horizontal stratigraphy, the genesis of the remodeling of its interior is followed, with all the main characteristics that allow us to understand how the architectural conception of the worship space changes, that is, how the church gets a new altar, dome, modified narthex, building from the north side etc.

ABSTRACT: At the site of Dubrava, there are remains of church architecture known as Ćaf Kiš. Around these remains is a vast necropolis, many still visible today. Protective archaeological research was carried out on a limited scale and showed that these are the remains of a church built at the beginning of the 16th century. Several explored graves testify that the church was built on an older necropolis. A cemetery was formed around the church, and after its demolition, numerous burials took place in it as well. On the remains of the architecture, we observed two basic building phases. First, a church was built with a deep apse, without a chancel. Shortly after construction, the northeast part of the church was demolished, and the apse fell to the northeast. It would be said that the collapse was caused by seismic action because no traces of ignition and destruction were observed. Soon, the church was restored, but now in a somewhat altered form, a new shallow apse was built, the nave was strengthened by constructing a buttress on the west side and the building was expanded by building the chancel. The architecture of the building, the church furniture and part of the movable archaeological material found unequivocally testify that the church ceremony took place according to the Latin custom. We determined the oldest archaeological layer to be in the 14^th century, the church was built in the 16^th century, and burials in and around it lasted until the middle of the 20^th century.

ABSTRACT: In mid-August 1912, there were armed conflicts between the cross-border Serbs and the Ottoman army, which committed serious crimes against the village of Donja Ržanica. In order to stop the Turks and restore the balance between the warring parties, Montenegrin units crossed the border and intervened in the events that followed. Nevertheless, thanks to the efforts of both Montenegrins and Ottomans, hostilities were stopped. An appropriate agreement was reached between the border commanders and Javad Pasha, but in practice, there was no serious progress in terms of its implementation. It remained for the beginning of the First Balkan War to decide the further fate of Lower Vasojevići, that was freed from Ottoman rule very soon after the start of hostilities.

ABSTRACT: Tribal history is a condition to all synthesis which have a regional and broader scientific significance. There are no great historical studies without thetribal themes which were scientifically processed, there is no national history without them. Scientific results on pages of the “Zapisi Istorijski zapisi” significantly broadened the horizons of tribal history and discovered the genesis of many historical movements. Historical processes, even though they are situated in the field of tribal thematic, unarguably have the widest frame. Political, industrial, educational, cultural and social circumstances and socioeconomic relations among the tribes are being analyzed throughout historical essays, along with battle for liberty of our people, which hasn’t been fully expressed yet. Montenegrin politics regarding the tribes has also been shown, and the political programme of Montenegrin territorial expansion. These works represent a starting point for all of those who wish to look into their past with a new perspective, and are an inspiration to further accomplishments in the domen of local history.

ABSTRACT: As a consequence of the very scarce archive sources, the true extent of the cooperation between the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and the Republic of Czechoslovakia or its Arms Factory Zbrojovka of Brno during the period from 1919 to 1941 remained unknown till nowadays. Due to the newly discovered documents, and thecourtesy of the Military History Institute of Prague, all aspects of the cooperation came to the light, that is to say, we found out the accurate number of different types of small arms, their prices, delivery terms, arms patterns and the conditions under which Yugoslavia acquired these arms. This allowed to correct the mistakesthat have occurred in the domestic literature from 1945 to the present days.

ABSTRACT: On the basis of documents from the State Archives in Dubrovnik and a historiography, civic kindred Alatović of Bar was considered prozopographically and multidisciplinary. Their social activity and influence in the sixteenth century announced the bourgeois dynamics of a later times throughout Europe. A member of this kindred was Ratac’s abbot between 1510/11 and 1522. The testament of Dubrovnik’s inhabitant Luka Alatović from 1591, among other, reveals the data on the property of the Archbishopric of Bar and on the church of St. Mary out of the walls (fuori delli muri di Antivari).

ABSTRACT: The paper examines the circumstances surrounding the beginning of the so-called Achaean war (146 BC) and the subsequent dissolution of the Achaean league by the Romans. The causes of these events, motives and explanations behind them are a source of confusion and disagreement for modern historians. The main reason for this is rather problematic, occasionally even contradictory, nature of the main sources, the book 38 of Polybius’ Histories and a segment of the book 7 of Pausanias’ Description of Hellas. In this paper the claim is made that the Achaean war was essentially a Roman surprise attack directed against a federation of city-states that displayed tendency for independence that was far too strong, at least from the Roman standpoint. Both Polybius and Pausanias (whose account is based on Polybius) describe and interpret events from a position that is distinctively pro-Roman. Polybius was not able to surmount political and ideological obstacles that stood in the way of objective analysis of the events. As in other places in his work, he decided that any serious critique of the Roman state, its representatives and their actions, is something completely unacceptable. Instead, the reader is presented with a contradictory narrative in which causes and effects switched places, the aggressor is painted as a neutral and well-meaning party, while the victims are forced to take the blame.

ABSTRACT: This paper is related to the outbreak of World War I, causes that led to it and the main responsibility. Given that the question of responsibility for the beginning of the war and its catastrophic consequences has been discussed with a great interest and interpreted in a “new” historiographical way in the last decades, the author sought to answer the question of looking at the past “from a new perspective” with whether it is about “scientific modernity” or whether the attempts of new historical perception of the Great War should be understood as a classic attempt to revise history.

That means that Mussolini’s political inconsistency and changes were not due to ideological reasons, since they were the results of opportunistic and selfish political considerations. As the public opinion in Italy took a clear uncompromising stand concerning the territorial dispute with its Adriatic neighbor, he adjusted his approach for exploiting the increasing political consensus, which the nationalist propaganda was gaining among Italian public opinion.

Abstract: This text presents observations on Njegoš‘s interest in science and technical achievements within the context of his epoch. His was an age of „Romantic science“ which transformed the rationalism of Enlightenment of the previous century with visionary passion, as it also did the reception of science in the public eye. Njegoš‘s dedication to science and technical achievements which relied on science was an expression of the liveliness of his spirit, intellectual views and constant striving to modernise his country.Njegoš introduces new technical achievements into major state project which he initiates, into visual representation of his country, effemeral events, by which he expresses an awareness of Montenegro as an entity and of himself as its ideator and ruler. Particular attention is given to Njegoš‘s encounters with contemporary wonders of science and technical achievement during his travels. Special significance is assigned to Njegoš‘s note on the Crystal Palace, raised for the Great Exhibition in London in 1851, which offers a sublimation of the new, modern age.

Abstract: The images of urban architecture become increasingly featured on the coins and seals issued in the medieval West in the 11th and particularly in the 12th century. This iconography is featured on the coins issued by the Crusaders and the coins of the newly-formed states after the 1204 dissolution of the Byzantine Empire. Citadels also become increasingly featured on the money coined in the coastal cities of the medieval Serbian state in the 12th and subsequently in the lands ruled by the Balsic family. The paper examines the iconography of these images, the methods and versions of visual representation of medieval cities and urban communities featured on coinage and seals, as well as the messages conveyed through this iconography.
