On earlier Greek place names of the East Adriatic

Slobodan Čače ; Sveučilište u Zadru

Abstract

Greek elements of the East Adriatic toponymy belong to at least three different
horizons: (1) an earlier horizon, preceding the Roman conquest, corresponding
to constantly growing Greek influence on native population, particularly
from the 6th cent. BC on, together with foundations of several Greek colonies;
(2) the second one, corresponding to the presence of the Greek-speaking element
in the area under Roman Empire; (3) the third one, corresponding to the Early
and Middle Byzantine periods, reflecting political, economic and cultural
relations that endured up to the 12th century.
The author considers several aspects of the Greek elements in the East
Adriatic toponymy relating to the first horizon only. (...)
