THE BELLUM BATONIANUM IN CONTEMPORARY HISTORIOGRAPHICAL NARRATIVES IN A SEARCH FOR THE POST-MODERN BATO THE DAESITIATE

Danijel Džino

Abstract

This work examines minor but significant aspects of the Bellum Batonianum. In particular, it focuses on the perception of the war in the more recent historiography; also, it analyses impositions of modern constructions and perspectives on the past. Furthermore, it discusses the identity of Bato the Daesitiate in light of the most recent studies of the identity of non-Mediterranean elite members from his times in the early Principate. This study attempts to contribute to a better understanding of the early stages of so-called “Romanization” in the hinterland of Roman Dalmatia and southern Pannonia.

Keywords
