Interesting map. The small bit of Roman province Dalmatia centered around Salona and Spalatum (effectively in the area of today Split's conurbation) was left alone for some time after Dr. Oetker took the WRE, so WRE lives here until 493 AD. In 535, Justinian reclaims it, but it falls down to Avar invasion in 640 when Salona gets completely destroyed, population ran for life to the islands, however in 650 they return and settle down in the palace. They are under Byzantium protection, as a Roman catholic city state, right to the 11th century when eastern Roman empire starts being too weak to protect its assets and they start passing out these rights to medieval Kingdoms in the area. This map captures a moment of interruption of a thousand year Roman rule.
Just had the last session. I think I could write a book about the topic now.

You can delete Gaddafi from that list because that's not SFRY. The rest of them on your list are filthy imperialist pigs.
The principle was non-alignment and hence SFRY decorated both 1st and 2nd world dignitaries, and vice versa.

Look at those bourgeoisie elites.And:
Walking through downtown Sofia I walked past an ancient Roman inscription. I already knew it and that it dated to the period of co-Regency of Marcus Aurelius and his son Commodus, but I never looked at it closely, so I decided to check it out this time. I was specifically looking for the name of Commodus and found that it had actually been erased according to the damnatio memoriae passed after his murder by the Roman Senate. That's the blank spot in the picture, you can see it was actually chiselled away in antiquity.

A still alive and well practice .....
Damnatio memoriae is a modern Latin phrase meaning "condemnation of memory", i.e., that a person is to be excluded from official accounts. There are and have been many routes to damnatio, including the destruction of depictions, the removal of names from inscriptions and documents, and even large-scale rewritings of history.
It was a form of dishonor that could be passed by the Roman Senate on traitors or others who brought discredit to the Roman State. The term can be applied to other instances of official scrubbing; the practice is seen as long ago as the reign of the Egyptian pharaoh Hatshepsut in the fourteenth century BC.

Didn't Stalin do that sort of thing too? Such as having photographs altered to remove people he stopped liking.

Even carries on to this day with Colleen Rooney.
He did, but it was for different purposes. The Roman's actually believed they were punishing the souls of the dead, Stalin just tried to alter history when it was inconvenient to him.

While it isn't for the same purpose, can it be called the same thing as the goal is still to erase the person from history? Be it to punish the soul or just erase their memory?

He certainly wanted to erase events from history ... but I agree about removing association (and then re-writing the history of that person ... Hero of the USSR to Traitor of the USSR kind of deal). But I do think those people were certainly mentioned quite a bit less
