Sažetak
Along the upper Adriatic, Dalmatia, Histria and Venetia represented the most distant outposts of Byzantium between the 6th and 12th centuries. Not fully integrated into the Empire, these provinces functioned as borderlands of sorts. Several sources point to the longue durée of Byzantine presence in the region, representing a sort of "Adriobyzantism" or "Latin Byzantism". Some of these records are examined here, e.g. Placitum of Riziano, treatises of Gottschalk of Orbais, Testament of patriarch Fortunatus. These early 9th century texts refer to local identity, at the same time using a discourse that points to strategies of identification with the Empire, on different levels. Simultaneously, these records transgress the limitations of space and time, since they are found across multiple boundaries of various polities: Byzantine Dalmatia, Histria, Croatian Duchy, Venetian Duchy.
