Background of Porphyrogenitus' etimologies of Zadar and Duklja
Milenko Lončar
Sažetak
Porphyrogenitus' forms of the names of Zadar and Duklja — lam era and Diocleia — are specific interpretation of the beginnings of these towns. The name of Zadar implies that Zadar is older than Rome, while Duklja is greatly proud of being named after famous emperor Diocletian. The change of original antique names is assigned to Constantine's passion for etymologies. This article shows that there are several reasons why it could be taken for granted that new forms of the names are older than Porphyrogeni tus, that they are local expression of general human need for other people's respect.
