Sažetak
Roman burial rituals and sepulchral structures varied according to territory and in many instances were distinct and specific for different regions of the Roman world. Accordingly, necropolises were representations of times, traditions and historical changes and ancient Liburnia was no different. This territory, spanning from the River Raša to the River Krka within the Roman province of Dalmatia, had its own continuities and discontinuities of customs and burial types, from Iron Age to the end of Late Antiquity. Although for Liburnia there are no exact written sources on this subject, numerous archaeological finds indicate that this territory adopted a variety of Roman traditions, which merged with still surviving autochthonous beliefs, while in Late Antiquity it adapted to the overall religious and political changes. Furthermore, necropolises were built in the space that surrounded the settlements and the encompassing landscapes limited and defined the placement and evolution of rituals and burials. As a result, these necropolises were both moulded by their landscape but they also shaped their surrounding in an interconnected symbiotic relationship. Therefore, this paper will consider the topography of Liburnian necropolises, their connections and interactions with the settlement they belonged to, socio-economic factors in their construction but also the impact various rituals had on their development, use, expansion and eventual abandonment throughout antiquity.
