Prof. Zeljko Miletic serves as a full professor at the Department of Archaeology, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Zadar, where he has been employed since 1986. He teaches core courses across all archaeology study levels including Institutions of the Roman World, Roman Army in Illyricum, Romanization of Ancient Illyricum, Economy of Roman Dalmatia and Histria, and Ancient Religion in the Adriatic-Danubian Region.
His educational credentials include:
- Graduate Archaeologist and Art Historian, Faculty of Philosophy in Zadar (1986)
- Master of Science (Topography of the Salonitan necropolises), Faculty of Philosophy in Zagreb (1989)

Miletic specializes in religious practices and military history within Roman provincial contexts, with particular focus on the Eastern Adriatic region. His research integrates field archaeology with socio-economic analysis of Romanization processes, examining how religious syncretism and military infrastructure shaped cultural transitions in Dalmatia and Pannonia. This interdisciplinary approach bridges classical archaeology, anthropology, and historical geography to reconstruct lived experiences in Roman frontier provinces.
