Amra Šašić Beća
Sažetak
The paper is divided into two units. The first analyses the narrative sources and inscriptions carved on epigraphic monuments dated to the 1st century whose content, directly or indirectly, gives an insight into the issue of establishing the Roman province of Illyricum. Moreover, the paper discusses different scholarly regarding the problem of dating the origin of the province of Illyricum. The second part of the paper discusses the division of the province of Illyricum into two military units: Illyricum Superius and Illyricum Inferius, i.e., the Roman province of Dalmatia and Pannonia. There are four main hypotheses in scholarship regarding the time when Illyricum was divided into Pannonia and Dalmatia administratively. The oldest hypothesis is that Illyricum was divided during or immediately after the quelling of the Great Illyrian Uprising or Bellum Batonianum (AD 6–9). The second hypothesis is that Illyricum was divided into two provinces at the end of Tiberius’s reign (AD 14–37) at the latest, whereas some scholars believe that it was divided under Claudius (AD 41–54). The fourth hypothesis is that the final formation of the provinces took place under Vespasian (AD 69–79). All these hypotheses were analyzed in detail to what specific narrative sources and inscriptions were analyzed in the first unit? When exactly was Illyricum divided into Pannonia and Dalmatia? What evidence supports each of the four hypotheses regarding the division of Illyricum? provide an answer to this important administrative question regarding Roman provincial history and archaeology.
