Božidar SLAPŠAK:

The end of prehistoric communities in the Karst region

Abstract

In this paper, archaeological and epigraphic evidence is scrutinized, pertaining to indigenous communities in the hinterlands of Trieste in the Late Prehistoric and Early Roman period. Not only the elements of "longue durée" of the settlement pattern, but also the mechanisms of change are considered. The key mechanism, which triggered the final collapse of the social structure of indigenous communities there, is identified in the act of granting Latin citizenship, such as documented in the mid-second century A.D. by the honorary inscription to L. Fabius Severus (I. It. X 4,31), involving the communities of the Carni and Catali (or Subocrini).
