Summary/Abstract: According to Čingrija's Antunin genealogy, the family Cicerović lived in Dubrovnik until 1642, or, around theree centuries and through seven generations. In the 15th century, three members of this family and three generations did business. Cicerovićs were mostly intermediaries in trade between the Serb lands and the Mediterranean. They acquired wealth and prestige due to trading. This was especially true for Mihailo, who was in the business from 1420s until 1440s, that is to say, during the economic prosperity of both Serb lands and the Dubrovnik itself. As a successful merchant and respected citizen, he became a member of the Antunin brotherhood, the corporation of the wealthiest merchants, ship owners, and financiers.
