Sažetak
The relative importance of the Adriatic region within the Roman empire increased in the Late Antiquty. With the division of the Empire under Diocletian and growing insecurity of land routes, maritime communication was gaining in the significance, both in the way of uniting the Empire and in supplying the imperial seats and provincial centres. In the 5th and 6th c. maritime transport of both goods and troops, as well as secure harbours and food supply, had become paramount for the security and wellbeing of the Roman state. Reaching deep into the European continent, the Adriatic Sea became the safest arterial route connecting distant territories of the Byzantine Empire along the Byzantium-Ravenna axis.
