Dalmatia was the Adriatic region visited by Titus according to 2 Timothy. It is important because it shows how far west the Christian mission and its networks had spread. First appears in 2 Tim 4:10.1
AI summary: Dalmatia matters because even brief New Testament references reveal the widening reach of the gospel beyond the eastern Mediterranean heartlands. The place belongs to the western horizon of apostolic mission.1
A mountainous country on the eastern shore of the Adriatic, a part of the Roman province of Illyricum. It still bears its ancient name. During Paul’s second imprisonment at Rome, Titus left him to visit Dalmatia (2 Tim. 4:10) for some unknown purpose. Paul had himself formerly preached in that region (Rom. 15:19).
The present Emperor of Austria bears, among his other titles, that of “King of Dalmatia.” 3
