Besides the spread of this type ofjewellery, the author tries to establish also its chronological span. He follows up the appearance of its earliest fomlS, proposing their origin in the Byzantine Empire goldsmithing crajtsmanship. He recognises goldsmi/hing craftsmanship also in the early medieval Slavonian centres of Siscia and Sirmium, which is to be related to the arts and crafts production originating from the Latin urban centres of the eastern Adriatic. ln this occurrence, the author finds connections between the Croatian north and south in the early Middle Ages.
