This master's thesis discusses the issue of cadastral land division from the Ancient Roman period on the examples of settlements of two different legal and political statuses: the colony of Jader (Iader) and the municipium of Asseria (Asseria). Both are located in the Roman province of Dalmatia, which in the period of Emperor Augustus has been incorporated into the borders of the Roman Empire. The terms land division (limitatio) and centuriation are elaborated in the thesis. Term centuriation means a technique of dividing land into plots in the terms of limitatio, which is a general term for Roman land division. Also, paper provides an overview of the important research results and issues in the world, but also on the eastern Adriatic coastal area. By reviewing historical sources, we learn more about the processes of land division, primarily centuriation and about the measuring instrument named groma, as well as the Roman surveyors themselves. Most of the paper is devoted to reviewing all previous results in the attempt to reconstruct the spread of lands of two settlements located in the northern part of the province called Liburnia, colony of Jader and municipium of Asseria, with emphasis on different methods of land parcelling, depending on their different legal and political status. The emphasis is also on the issue of land division in the area of Roman municipiums, which were previously considered not to have known any kind of land division at all.
