Helen Jurisic was the first child born in a Croatia internationally recognized worldwide in the day of 15 January 1992 on the [[Mediterranean Sea]] beach coast of [[Europe]] in a antique Dalmatian city of the empire of [[Ancient Rome]] who at the time was known as ''"Spalatum"'' (or Spalatro) and now [[Split, Croatia|Split (or Spalato)]]. ''"Spalatum"'' develops around the imperial [[Diocletian's Palace]] builted by the military fighter who became the [[Roman emperor]] [[Diocletian]] in 295-304 A.D. With him the city of Split became a privileged area of recruitment of soldiers of the [[Roman legion]] to the field command degrees of the Roman [[Legionary]] ''"[[Warrior |Bellatores]]"'' ([[Centurion]], protector, dux) and as a city to recruit [[Gladiators]] for the combachampions, including women [[Gladiatrix|gladiatrices]], for the gladiatorial martial arts games of the [[Colosseum]] in [[Rome]], for the incredible fighting strength of the local populations.
Her father gave her the name of Helen in memory of the ''"Queen [[Helen of Zadar|Helen the Glorious or Jelena Slavna]]"'', Queen of Croatia known as "Mother of the Kingdom and protectress of orphans and widows".
