Diocletian’s “imperial court” in Doclea ; Dioklecijanov “carski dvor” u Duklji
The aim of the paper is the re-examination of the “forum” of late antique Doclea (Dioclea), the interpretation of which has never been finished, although so information been collated during the past 131 years. Through re-examination of the complex with its distinctive features this paper offers answers on some of the still unresolved issues. A primary issue was to resolve who was responsible for its arrangement. After an onomastic analysis only one conclusion asserted itself – the “forum complex” could only have been erected by the Emperor Diocletian, who was obviously responsible for the rearrangement of the whole town of Doclea (Dioclea), his hometown. Further analysis of the concept, architectural arrangement and vocabulary used in the “forum” and adjoining “basilica” only corroborate that it was precisely Diocletian and his “architectural school”. Without a doubt, the Doclean (Dioclean) “forum complex” was innovative and original in many ways, along with its importance as an “imperial forum”, the “Diocletian’s imperial court”, will remain in the collective memory of the Montenegrins for centuries to come. The paper also represents an effort to clarify Diocletian’s background and the “modus operandi” of his “architectural school” whose presence in Doclea (Dioclea) has already been noticed. ; Cilj je rada preispitivanje kasnoantičkog “foruma” u Duklji, čija interpretacija, unatoč mnoštvu podataka prikupljenih tijekom proteklih 131 godinu, nikada nije dogotovljena. Rad nudi odgovore na pojedina neriješena pitanja proizašle upravo iz njegova preispitivanja. Prvenstveno pitanje bilo je vezano za naručitelja te gradnje. Po onomastičkoj analizi zaključak se sam nametnuo – “forumski sklop” mogao je dati podići isključivo sam car Dioklecijan, koji je, po svemu sudeći, bio zaslužan za uređenje i pregradnju svojega rodnoga grada. Analiza koncepta, specifičnog arhitektonskog rješenja i upotrijebljenog vokabulara samo je potvrdila prethodni zaključak. “Forumski kompleks” je nesumnjivo bio inovativan i originalan, a ...
