Problem ubikacije Bestoenske biskupije (Ecclesia Bestoensis) – prilog poznavanju ranog kršćanstva na tlu Bosne i Hercegovine
The issue of determining the location of Ecclesia Bestoensis – in support of the knowledge of Early Christianity in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Summary/Abstract: The issue of the location of the Bestoen Diocese (Ecclesia Bestoensis) has captured the attention of historiography in the countries of former Yugoslavia, especially Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia. Its location is associated with the location of Bistuensium municipium which is attested by six epigraphic monuments. Based on epigraphic monuments and the analysis of written sources and archaeological materials, we will try to determine the location of the municipal seat – the center of the Bestoen Diocese. Afterwards, the information offered in the acts of Salona church councils from 530 and 533, referring to the said diocese and its bishop, will be analyzed.
