The font is considered a symbol of early Croatian history and the people's conversion to Christianity. The inscription is in Latin and mentions the name of a priest named John (Ivan) who baptized people during "the time of Duke Višeslav" in the honor of John the Baptist.
Historians have been making numerous attempts to date the reign of Višeslav, and to locate his domain geographically, and older Croatian historiography has a lot of claims about this, but there is no present-day consensus about where or when he ruled beyond a Slavic group Christianized by the Carolingians in the early 9th century.[1]
