Stanje u provinciji Dalmaciji u prvoj polovini V stoljeća
Province of Dalmatia in the First Half of the 5th Century

Summary/Abstract: After Theodosius’ division of the Roman Empire into the Western and Eastern Empire, the Roman province of Dalmatia fell under the western part of the Empire. During the first half of the fifth century, the province of Dalmatia faced numerous problems. Among other problems, the following two are the most important. The first problem is related to an increase in invasions of barbarian tribes, which killed local population in large numbers and ravaged it, while the other problem is related to the crisis of the Empire, which was manifested in the violent rise to power on the part of usurper emperors. This situation would last until 437, when the province of Dalmatia, at the discretion of Galla Placidia, was ceded to the eastern part of the Roman Empire. However, such situation did not fundamentally change anything. The problems that the province of Dalmatia faced were still the cause of all of its misfortunes and difficulties.
