About this title

Synopsis

Explore the rise and fall of the Ragusan Republic during the Turkish conquest.

This concise historical narrative examines how Ragusa navigated a web of rivals, from Venice and Hungary to local Slavonic princes, as the Ottoman threat grew along the Adriatic coast. Rich in detail yet readable, it reveals how a small Adriatic city-state shaped its fate through trade, diplomacy, and resilient self-government.

The book frames Ragusa’s story against a backdrop of shifting power in Dalmatia, Bosnia, and the broader Mediterranean world. It highlights the republic’s emphasis on maritime commerce, its complex alliances, and how external pressure tested its independence and influence. Rich with archive material and guided by careful scholarship, the work weaves together political, economic, and cultural threads to illuminate life inside a coastal republic under siege by empire.

Insight into Ragusa’s strategic diplomacy with Venice, Hungary, and neighboring states
Discussion of trade networks, navigation, and the protection of commerce
Profiles of key leaders, chancery debates, and the city’s political evolution
Illustrations and topographical context that illuminate the era and its architecture

Ideal for readers of Mediterranean history, urban republics, and the wider story of Dalmatia and the Adriatic.
