This was a medieval principality located in today's Herzegovina near the Neretva River.
Bordered the lands of, Travunia and Bosnia to the north.
Porphyrogenitus descibes the Paganians in De Administrando Imperio as a Serb tribe which settled in present Hercegovina around the Neretva River at the start of the 6th century. Pagania entered into confederations with the Serb princes of Raska early on.
Croat academics have pointed out that Pagania could have been Croat, but this is not generally accepted since these claims rely on Chronicle of the Priest of Duklja, which has been discredited as unreliable and full of errors. It is now accepted in most academic circles outside of Croatia that Travunia / Travunja Zachumlie / Zahumlje, Bosnia / Bosna and Zeta / Duklja were settled with Serb tribes, as it states in De Administrando Imperio.
