Abstract

This study identifies and analyzes the medieval roots of the modern Croatian symbols of power, their modeling and regulation in the 19th century and re-shaping in the dynamic context of the 20th century up to the 1990 Constitution of the Republic of Croatia, and the respective regulation currently in force. This study shows how medieval symbols of the land were transferred by selection and reinterpretation into symbols of the nation and nation-state.
