Abstract
The aim of this paper is to contribute to the identification of the first
inhabited cities in baptized Serbia at the beginning of the X century,
mentioned by Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus. Writings from that time are
important documents which provide a picture of the reality, but it is also
necessary to carefully study the old maps. Of particular note is the French
geographer and cartographer, Guillaume Delisle (Guillaume de L?Isle), a
member of the Royal Academy of Science, from the beginning of the XVIII
century, whose map "Eastern Empire and neighboring regions of Constantine
Porphyrogenitus" ("Imperio Orientalis et circumjacentium regionum sub
Constantino Porphyrogenito et ejus praedecestoribus Descriptio") made on the data basis on Porphyrogenitus, so far not been used in the elucidation of uncertainty about the position of the first inhabited cities in christened Serbia. This map could be useful in researching of the networks of the
cities, and territorial organization of Serbia and other Balkan countries.
