This paper explores the role of political violence by considering selected cases of social crises, specifically in Zadar, Šibenik, Trogir and Split, where the use of violence affected social and power relations. One case was chosen to represent each city, and each example provides specific insights into the “culture of violence” in late medieval Dalmatian towns, particularly in comparison to Italian communes. The article also incorporates theoretical observations and concepts regarding the influential role of violence in altering or maintaining social order, which is evident in direct interactions and confrontations.
