Sažetak

This paper deals with the relationships between autochthonous communities (Scardona, Promona, Varvaria) and the territorial relations in the context of different influences the Romans had in the area along the Middle and Lower part of the Krka River. It is argued that the thesis on the dominant role of Liburnian Varvaria in the Late pre-Roman period should be abandoned, especially in relation to Scardona, Promona and Burnum. According to the literary and epigraphic sources, Scardona was, even before Augustus, an important Liburnian community. This paper also advocates that, despite Appian’s well known citation about it being a Liburnian town, Promona should be considered to belong to the territory of the Delmatae by ethnicity, and attribution to Liburnia should be seen as a Roman defence strategy against the Delmatae attacks. The second part of the paper brings about a discussion on the territorial relations that arose from the establishment of the legionary camp in Ivoševci (so-called “Hollow Church” site) and also covers the question of the legal status of prata, i.e. territorium legionis.
