Abstract
Undoubtedly, the credits for understanding the problem of the areas of the ager centuriatus of the Colony of Iader and the astarea of the medieval Zadar go to Mate Suić. This author dwells on Suić’s results and underlines the soundness of most of his conclusions. But he also quotes some medieval and Modern Age sources evidencing that the limes of the Iader Colony was at Miljašića jaruga (Miljašić Stream) and not at the Bokanjac – Crno – Babin dub line as claimed by Suić. While, based on this research, the ager centuriatus of Zadar has remained almost the same, the total area of the Zadar ager has increased twofold because the southern half of the total area of Bokanjačko blato (Bokanjac Lake) and the left bank of Miljašić stream have been included in it.
