Prilog proučavanju ilirskog identiteta u rimskim naseljima na tlu Crne Gore
Some Notes on Illyrian Identity in Roman settlements in Montenegro

Summary/Abstract: The Roman settlements of southeastern Dalmatia, namelyRisinium, 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.
