Sažetak
Istrian peninsula after a period of intense rise and prosperity in the 6-7th century faced stagnation that resulted in the collapse of Byzantine rule and falling under Frankish rule in the early 9th century and became an Markgraviate of Istria that fell into a deep crisis. The previous administrative system has been broken, social classes have changed, the traditional centuries old orientation of the population towards marine resources and maritime trade with the Eastern Mediterranean is disappearing. The Istrian area faced the challenges of the of Slavs and penetration Croats from the east, and centuries of incursions by Neretvans who plundered coastal settlements and the nearby hinterland. The open support of the Patriarch of Aquileia and the Counts of Gorica was not well received, and the behavior of seniors - bishops and noble families led to extermination. On the example of several sites Vižula, Aran, Azan, Beller, and Turtilian located in a historically defined territory called Ager Polensis will be shown how it was from ancient times to the 14th century. The tradition has disappeared, the breadth of contact has narrowed, and the religious system has been completely transformed. Based on scarce and often stereotypical written sources and current archaeological findings with increasingly abundant literature, it will once again consider how these sites have survived despite ongoing war, plague, famine, climate change and changes in economic fundamentals. The work will try to illuminate another segment of the historical space from the fragments of historical sources and look at human existence in these five localities.
