Abstract
Th e Adriatic is a homogeneous sea as far as its form is concerned, and at the same time a complex one when its cultural stratifi cations are considered, stratifi cations particularly evident along the eastern littoral, a border zone between civilization models, between Western and Eastern Europe, Central Europe and the Mediterranean. Th e Adriatic as a region does not have a common historiography, there is not a single version of its past accepted by all the nations that make part of it. Recent trans-frontier policies impose a new political vision of the Adriatic, a regionalization of this sea. Th is tendency will have, sooner or later, a cultural implication, involving the way we look at the Adriatic past. Key words: the Adriatic Sea; history and historiography; transnational history. Ključne reči: Jadransko more; istorija i istoriografi ja; transnacionalna istorija.
