Although small, the Republic of Dubrovnik was a very influential aristocratic state, and its origins are linked to the creation of Epidaurus. The golden age of the Dubrovnik Republic was during the 15th and 16th centuries, but after a great earthquake it never managed to return to its previous state. In this paper, the emphasis is placed on the Konavle revolt and the new territories that the state reached. In all the territories it occupied, the Dubrovnik government established its own administrative mechanisms by which it divided the land among the nobles and local nobles. The situation in Konvali was difficult, which ultimately resulted in a revolt, the conflict between the Dubrovnik army and the peasants and the great diplomatic action of Dubrovnik with the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburg Monarchy. The revolt was eventually put down, but the main leaders, sentenced to death, managed to escape. This revolt showed that the Republic of Dubrovnik was nearing its end. With the arrival of the French in Dalmatia and their occupation of the city, once a strong aristocratic state on the Adriatic, it ceased to exist in 1808.
