ABSTRACT: Epigraphic evidence from the territory of Montenegro pertaining to the Roman army testifies to the history of the province of Dalmatia and its garrison. Inscriptions imply the existence of stations of beneficiarii consularis in Doclea and Municipium Splonistarum respectively. From the reign of Marcus Aurelius onwards, the latter town might have been garrisoned by a detachment of the cohort II milliaria Delmatarum, which was stationed on the border between Dalmatia and Moesia Superior. Epigraphic evidence from Risinium and Municipium Splonistarum shows that the units of the Roman army were replenished with recruits from these towns and their territories. Onomastic evidence implies that some of the conscripts belonged to the indigenous population of Dalmatia.

ABSTRACT: The paper deals with Strabo’s account of rivers running through the Balkans, belonging to the Black Sea, Adriatic and Aegean drainage basins. His knowledge of rivers is focused on navigable parts and river mouths, rather than on those parts closer to the source. Regarding the rivers of the Black Sea drainage basin, Strabo mentions the most important right tributaries of the Danube, and the Sava River and its tributaries are considered in relation to the ancient trade routes. The rivers of the Adriatic basin are mostly short and isolated without the possibility of easy communication between one river-basin and another, but the economic importance of these rivers is underlined and it is specified, seen from the mouth to the inland, whether a river is navigable or not. Strabo was also well acquainted with the five great rivers of ancient Macedonia and Thrace which enter the Aegean Sea. Unfortunately, Book VII of Strabo’s Geography is not preserved in its entirety, but even in the fragmentary state in which it is preserved, it contains the most complete geographical description of ancient Macedonia and the Thracian coast in antiquity we possess today.

• Миљан ГОГИћ, О ПОВЕЉИ КРАЉИЦЕ ЈЕЛЕНЕ АНЖУЈСКЕ ЗА СЕЛО ЗАТОР (1276‒1306), 53-72  Download

ABSTRACT: This paper analyses the contents of the text of the charter issued by Queen Helen of Anjou to the village of Zator‒which is in the immediate vicinity of Kotor –during her reign in Zeta (1276‒1306). The charter has been preserved in multiple transcripts, as well as Italian translations. The charter states the boundaries of the village, as defined by Queen Helen, which were established on the site. Penalties are prescribed in the case of any unlawful use of this area by the surrounding population. The charter stipulates legal norms which determine the pecuniary tributes paid by the inhabitants of the village, in relation to court proceedings. A fine is prescribed for any breach of these norms. The paper concludes that a part of the border of the village of Zator had corresponded with a part of the border of the Kotor district since the first half of the 14th century.

• Dorin-Ioan RUS, CONSIDERATIONS SUR LES ANOMALIES CLIMATIQUES DANS LES PRINCIPAUTES DANUBIENNES ENTRE 1783 ET 1785, 73-104  Download

ABSTRACT: This lecture is part of a larger project dealing with the environmental history of South-East Europe in the 18th and 19th century. It will discuss the impact of natural and meteorological phenomena on a multicultural society in a borderland of the Russian, Ottoman and Habsburg Empire. The study assesses this topic from two perspectives: that of contemporary interpretations and that of contemporary intervention measures. The population’s perceptions at the time were permeated by religious concepts, such as divine punishment, while the official perception had only started to be influenced by the rational, enlightened interpretation of the transition period to modernity. The eruption of Laki in 1783 triggered a sudden and serious climate change. The ensuing drop in temperature caused a massive decrease in agricultural production which, in turn, lead to famine in the following years. The effects of this catastrophe in this part of Europe have not yet been thoroughly researched thus far. A great number of chronicles, travel books, memoirs, official documents in Central and Western Europe mention low temperatures, price hikes, poverty and famine. Based on external sources, this research will contribute to the development of historiography on the on climatic anomalies in the Danube principalities between 1783 and 1785 and analyses the impact of weather on the economy of both Romanian countries. In comparison with other Central European countries, the impact of the weather on the two Romanian principalities was rather weak, the economy functioned within its limits; the summer and autumn of 1785 were extremely rich. The main problem of both analysed countries was the plague, which broke out during this period.

• Giordano MERLICCO, BETWEEN OLD AUSTRIA AND NEW FOES: ITALY AND THE YUGOSLAV PROJECT (1917-18), 115-138  Download

ABSTRACT: After the 1917 Corfu Declaration several Italian political circles adopted a warm approach towards Yugoslav unity. Following Mazzini’s ideas, democratic interventionists had claimed since the beginning of the war a policy based on the national principle. They were eventually joined by more conservative sectors, which believed the international context had radically changed since 1915 and therefore it was necessary to make a general reappraisal of Italy’s war aims. They favoured a deal with Serbia and the Yugoslav Committee in order to destabilize the Austrian Empire and agree a mutually acceptable definition of the common border. Minister of Foreign Affairs Sonnino instead believed that Italian war aims had been fixed once and for all in 1915 and refused both direct talks and a reappraisal of Italian war aims. Lacking a bilateral deal with Serbs/Yugoslavs, Rome finally found itself helpless at the peace negotiations, when Paris and London backtracked from the promises made in 1915.

These gendarmerie had different competencies, which often overlapped in the field.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents my research on the discovery of numerous hitherto unknown necropolises of stećak – tombstones in the Bijelo Polje-Bihor region. A review is given of previous research, but also of inconsistent opinions about symbols and inscriptions on many stećak – tombstones. Unfortunately, a large part of the stećak – tombstones in this area were either broken or built into various buildings, so my intention was, in addition to finding and interpreting the symbols on them, to point out to our professional public and cultural heritage institutions to encourage further research and protection of this truly great cultural treasure. Many necropolises of stećak tombstones found in the Bijelo Polje-Bihor region are a real archaeological treasure, both in terms of their shapes and the motifs found on the stećak tombstones. In this area, we find such a variety of motifs on the stećak – tombstones that it is a real cultural treasure that deserves further research, but the valorization of existing ones.

ABSTRACT: By the decisions of the Berlin Congress in 1878, Austria-Hungary occupied Bosnia and Herzegovina, although it was still the territory of the Ottoman Empire. The entry of the Austrian military and civilian authorities into Bosnia and Herzegovina was the first step of the German penetration to the east. From 1878, Vienna had carefully been preparing the annexation and the right moment for it was 1908. Defeated in the war with Japan, and shaken by the revolution in 1905, Russia was unable to react. The annexation, carried out by Vienna, caused dissatisfaction in Cetinje and Belgrade. Serbia and Montenegro were ready to get into war for their rights. For the above-mentioned reasons, Russia was not ready for war, so Serbia and Montenegro had to withdraw, failing to receive even territorial compensation for the loss of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

ABSTRACT: This paper deals with the development of Croatian politics ahead of the Sarajevo assassination and the outbreak of the First World War. The focus of attention is the question of a national issue whose interpretation of 1903 is gaining new significance due to the acute crisis of dualism, change of government in the Kingdom of Serbia, and the increasingly prominent activity of the heir, Duke Franz Ferdinand. On the basis of the analysis of parliamentary party programs and the activities of relevant political groups, unilateral dissatisfaction with the Croatian position in Austria-Hungary is noticed, and in the context of the state relations with Hungary, it stands out as an overwhelming problem of achieving Croatian financial autonomy. After the implementation of the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the approach to the national issue is tightened, and from then on, a considerable number of political actors have seen its solution only in affirmation of the principle of national unity in the integral area of the southern Slavs.

ABSTRACT: The Roman settlements of southeastern Dalmatia, namely Risinium, Doclea and Municipium S. were organized as other provincial municipal communities in the Roman Empire. The social structure of indigenous societies in this region before conquest is not clear. In the coastal settlements such as Risan, the process of Romanization started earlier and had deeper roots. In the central region, Docleates were peregrines, led by tribal aristocracy from the castelli such as Salthua, on the main road from Narona to Scodra. Their names suggest they were not Roman citizens, although they use Latin language in their inscriptions. In the hinterland epigraphic evidence shows a strong early presence of indigenous elite in the network of municipal political institutions.

Abstract: The introductory part of this paper is devoted to general historical, social and cultural conditions of the time of establishing of the Roman city of Doclea ( near Podgorica) as well as guidelines for its further study. In the second part, the article deals with Medaur, an Illyrian deity – protector of the ancient Risinium (present-day Risan in Montenegro), known only on the basis of inscription found in a military camp in Lambesis. By analyzing the content of the inscription, this text strives to arrive at the origins of this deity and its iconography. Based on comparative examples, of geographic origins ranging from the region of Thrace to the present-day Tunisia and Algeria, it can be concluded that this was an equestrian figure deity, with conceptual and visual roots dating from the time of Pyrrhus, with particular attention drawn to the fact that his kingdom was in close political and cultural relationship with the Illyrian states in the south-eastern area of Adriatic Sea.

ABSTRACT: The paper analyses foreign political activities of the Montenegrin metropolitan Peter II Petrović Njegoš in the 1930s, which bear the formal characteristics of diplomatic affairs. For this reason, the author believed them important for the study of diplomatic history of Montenegro, even though these were not typical diplomatic actions but rather international activities of a country which in fact exists but does not have the capacity of an international subject to speak of its diplomacy in the sense of international law. In order to explain the historical backdrop of the two Russian missions of Peter II, the author uses national archive sources from the Department of Archives of National Museum of Montenegro and National Archives of Montenegro along with the known literature, and he also relies to a great extent on the documents of the Foreign Affairs Archives of the Russian Empire. Thus, many details regarding both missions which have not been scientifically elaborated are explained, and can be useful to contemporary researchers in terms of the objectives and tasks of foreign political missions of Peter II.

• Dragana KUJOVIĆ, Smail-aga Čengić između dva epska portreta, 101-110  Download

ABSTRACT: Mažuranić’s epic poem The Death of Smail-aga Čengić described the death of mute sarrif of Gacko. The character of this Turkish hero took on epically hackneyed characteristics attributed to Turkish thugs in national poetry. The ruthless Turkish commander is contrasted with the oppressed Christian people, subject to all sorts of injustice and violence. There have been many at tempts at describing the Turkish dignitary Smail-aga Čengić, which are either epic or which surpass the epic frame, and they tend to place him in to an entirely different notion of reality, not without exaggeration which quite often unjustifiably coincides with a contrary cliché – a beautified and retouched image. By emphasizing the reputation of the mute sarrif, which he gained with courage, achievements and a dignified loyalty to Ottoman authorities, unlike inane, pathetic and hypocritical subjects, such image tells that reality painted a double picture in collective memory. However, the divided image is united by a historical con text, the same characters, events and details which enable an impartial research process, completely relieved of bias and attempts to humor the traditional, i.e. epic role division in to good and evil, “our” chivalry and “their” cowardice, which is usually blind and conventional.

ABSTRACT: The paper is an analysis of the position and upbringing of a Montenegrin woman in Montenegro clans and tribes. From the historical point of view, her role was tied to the family, which was also her most important personal and social function. Social value of women and their acceptance in the community (clan, tribe) they belong to, from birth until different years of age, was inextricably linked to the structure of family life. Household and raising children meant that a woman had to stay “tied” to the house all her life. Moreover, she participated in the course of her social life only in directly – through her father, brother, husband, son or other male relatives. The family was, therefore, her micro and macro world. Thus the position of a Montenegrin woman on the social ladder in the 19th century always depended on her dominant role in the vertical line of family relations and the social importance she would gain through affiliation with strong male figures: father, brother or husband. This resulted in the provisions of traditional law which preached inequality of sexes in the matters of heritage and property, of law, economy and other.

ABSTRACT: The basic aim of this work is to show the development of the political relations between the Kingdom of Serbia, and the Principality (and later Kingdom) of Montenegro during the reign of the two most rival-ling dynasties – Petrovic and Obrenovic, and the dynasty of Karadjordjevic after 1903, as seen through the eyes of British diplomats in Belgrade. In the period between 1878 and 1910 there were so many diplomatic reports which alluded to the poor relations between the two states, dynasties and crowns especially during the reign of King Milan Obrenovic of Serbia and Prince Nikola Petrovic of Montenegro. They hated each other. King Milan believed that Prince Nikola was a puppet in hands of Russia, and that his goal was to remove him from the Serbian throne and take his place. At the same time, Prince Nikola was frustrated because Milan Obrenovic declared Serbia a Kingdom. The relations improved somewhat during the reign of his son, King Alexander, but they grew even worse after 1903 than they had been before the Coup d’Etat in May.

ABSTRACT:at the beginning of the 20th century, electric power is introduced in Montenegro, but not for public use (street lights and houses), but rather for a specific purpose (of supplying machineries). The first one to use electric power to operate its equipment was the radio-telegraphic station in Volujica in 1904. Putting the Cetinje electric power plant, meant for public use, in to operation in 1910 was an important event because it meant that Montenegro had adopted an achievement of the developed world. Three years later, electric power plant in Bar was also put in to operation. Along with the two electric power plants (in Cetinje and Bar), electrification of other places on the territory of Montenegro was started in 1918. In 1941, the first hydroelectric power plant “Podgor” was put in to operation (near the village Podgor in Crmnica). The hydroelectric plant “Podgor” had the capacity of 300 kW, and its primary purpose was to generate electricity to operate pumps that delivered water to Cetinje. If we consider the first stage of development of the Montenegrin electric power industry, which lasted from 1910 until 1945, it becomes clear that a significant progress was made in this branch of economy, though the progress may seem modest compared to other parts of the Yugoslav state. The progress which was achieved may not have satisfied wishes and expectations but it corresponded to the current needs of Montenegro and the economic climate, which ultimately determined its size.

ABSTRACT: The term totalitarianism is relatively new, appearing in the books at the end of the period between wars, and it has particularly spread after World War II. Etymology defines totalitarianism as such political system in which state or a party leadership administers and controls the entire social life – economy, education, culture, science, philosophy, even relations within families and everyday communication between people – by means of coercion. Totalitarian regimes are those which delighted a part of Europe after World War I, and not only people but also the educated and upper classes of society, regardless of the simplicity, violence and irrational postulates of the ideas and positions of those ideologies. In that regard, propaganda is probably one of the most important instruments of totalitarianism, where it took on unforeseen proportions. Previous propaganda principles were elaborated, and practice yielded and perfected new and more efficient action techniques.

ABSTRACT: The paper deals with a synthetic over view of data regarding mine production in medieval Brskovo based on all available sources. In order tore construct the scale and method of production, the paper used data from montangeological reports resulting from tests done in order to re start the production in the Brskovo mine. It provides data about the sites where the ore was taken, the sorts of ore and metal exploited, places where it was processed and about the composition of the slag. The work provides field observations on the now visible traces of medieval mining, and descriptions of the artefacts found which were used in the mining process. Testimonies of previous mining activity preserved in the toponymy of Brskovo and the surrounding area are another topic of this paper. Moreover, it provides data about the direction of medieval roads which connected Brskovo with the coast and the river Lim, as well as the data about a money mint, economic importance of Brskovo and the participation of business people from the Lim region in business matters regarding the lease of Brskovo mines and metal trade.

ABSTRACT: In the paper, written in Russian language, the author publishes a small portion of a rich correspondence of Valtazar Bogišić, PhD, a renowned Slavist and researcher of Slavic laws. The letters have never before been published. The fact that makes them particularly interesting is that in them Valtazar Bogišić asks from the Head of the Museum in Tver for books of proverbs along with ancient documents. He believes that those books could be used as an important starting point in studying Slavic legal customs. Bogišić believed that the common law of Slavic people was a segment necessary for studying and understanding it. For this reason, he conducted his famous polls but, as we can see, he also used all available sources for which he believed contained elements of common law of Slavic people.

ABSTRACT: The subject of this work is conservation of an amphora from the site of Doclea, located in the vicinity of Podgorica, Montenegro. The amphora was found during the excavation campaign which took place in 1958 – 1962, when about 300 tombs were unearthed and a large number of whole and fragmented amphorae were discovered. The amphora which is described in this paper was the only one found in the southeastern necropolis of Doc lea. This type of amphora is common in the 1st and early 2nd centuries AD. The amphora was found in a very fragmentary state and the absence of its large part, made the conservation very complicated. During the process of conservation all the steps of the conservation procedure were executed and recommendations were made for the further preservation of amphora in appropriate conditions in order to eliminate damaging influence of the outside factors.
