Tropolje
Tropolje was a historical Croatian duchy, which was located on the borderland of Croatia, Bosnia and Zachlumia. Its exact borders are disputed among historians. History Vjekoslav Klaić thought that Tropolje encompassed the Cetinsko Polje, Livanjsko Polje and Duvanjsko Polje, and possible other poljes on the borderland of Croatia, Bosnia, and Zachlumia. Marko Perojević, on the other hand, argued that Tropolje included the Kosovo Polje (near Knin), Petrovo Polje (near Drniš) and Mućko Polje. Additionally, Dominik Mandić included Livanjsko Polje as well. Sima Ćirković held that Tropolje streched over Livanjsko Polje, Duvanjsko Polje and Glamočko Polje. Krunoslav Draganović and Damir Karbić argued that Tropolje included Duvanjsko Polje, Kupreško Polje, and Glamočko Polje. Karbić, agreeing with Draganović, said that a document from 1301 supports his conclusion and that the northern borders thus defined, fitted the borders of the Diocese of Duvno. The document ...

Delminium
Delminium was an Illyrian city and the capital of the Dalmatia which was located somewhere near today's Tomislavgrad, Bosnia and Herzegovina, under which name it also was the seat of a Latin bishopric (also known as ''Delminium''). Name The toponym ''Delminium'' has the same root as the tribal name Dalmatae and the regional name Dalmatia. It is considered to be connected to the Albanian ''dele'' and its variants which include the Gheg form '' delmë'', meaning "sheep", and to the Albanian term ''delmer'', "shepherd". According to Orel, the Gheg form ''delme'' hardly has anything in common with the name of ''Dalmatia'' because it represents a variant of ''dele'' with ''*-mā'', which is ultimately from proto-Albanian ''*dailā''. The ancient name ''Dalmana'', derived from the same root, testifies to the advance of the Illyrians into the middle Vardar, between the ancient towns of Bylazora and Stobi. The medieval Slavic toponym Ovče Pole ("plain of sheep" in South Slavic) in the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
