Villae maritimes, sites ecclésiaux et monastères de l’Antiquité tardive et du haut Moyen Âge Christianisation et transformation de domaines antiques dans l’archipel du Kvarner (Croatie)

Résumé

Composed of several large islands (Krk, Cres, Rab) and numerous islets, the Kvarner archipelago played a strategic role on the north-south and east-west trans-Adriatic communication routes, while providing an important link between the Adriatic area and the Dalmatian hinterland and, more broadly, with Pannonia. During the 3rd century the region seems to experience a new dynamic thanks to its geographical position, which defines it as a sort of maritime and land “threshold” of antique Italy. New maritime settlements were established on the coastal zone of the islands, while the villae of the Early Empire, established at the beginning of our era, not only endured but also grew richer. The Christianisation of society in Late Antiquity is manifested in these Kvarner maritime villae by the appearance of private ecclesiastical foundations, also defined under the term “patrimonial churches”, and whose phenomenon is well studied elsewhere. But it seems that it is only within major sites that new complex ecclesiastical establishments develop rather early, from the beginning of the 5th century. Through four sites of the Kvarner archipelago, we will question the different markers as to the determination of the functions of these ecclesiastical (monastic?) complexes, but also their role in the establishment of a new territorial organisation.
