Sažetak
The article presents basic premises of a new approach to the study of the development and transformations of Roman “villas” of present-day Dalmatia, drawing attention to different aspects of estate organization and types of Roman residential structures situated within the area of central Dalmatia, which do not correspond to terms such as “villa rustica”. The phenomenon of “transformations” is addressed as a process of constant changes, the study of which necessarily presupposes inclusion of all aspects of the said process.
The aforementioned context provides the framework for the analysis of the Roman structure in Bilice near Šibenik, distinguished by its specific architectural disposition. The author associates certain subsequent reconstructions of the said structure to the erection of the Late Antique triconch building in its vicinities. However, changes on the estate are not viewed as a reflection of its “degradation”, but rather as signs of embracing new social values which also indicate the survival of specific landowning relationships of the estate on Dedića punta over a longer period spanning from the late Empire to Early Middle Ages.
