Sažetak
Our topographic and architectural studies of maritime villas in different geographic zones of Istria and Dalmatia have led to inquiries into development, function and organization of the villas. The chronology of the first phases is clear only in rare cases, but there is indication that the Italian development of coastal villas into true maritime villas is parallel into the eastern Adriatic region. Villas plans are indicative of the social structure of the proprietors and their economic and intellectual life. However, the distinction between leisure villas and those that were centers of a productive estate was difficult in the absence of clear indicators of production and storage facilities. In late antiquity, the economic and strategic function, especially of the villas on the shipping routes, was essential.
