Aucissa Fibulae with Inscriptions Kept in the Archaeological Museums in Zagreb, Zadar and Split

Sažetak
From the total sum of the few hundred examples of the Aucissa fi bulae kept in the collections ofthe archaeological museums in Zagreb, Zadar and Split, we have selected the ones with mouldedinscriptions. According to diff erent inscriptions, the fi bulae have been organized in fi fteen groups.Inscribed Aucissa fi bulae can be found towards the end of the 1st century BC and were mostfrequently used in the time of the Flavians. They were probably produced in the workshops of thenorthern Italy. Most of them were found in the area along the coast, the largest number near Salona,because Salona was in the fi rst half of the 1st century the most important starting point for Romanattacks and conquests of the free Illyrian territory. For the fi rst time an inscription was noticed on twoexamples PVATTR, which considering the name TR… can be explained as an Illyrian name TRito orTRosius. That would be the fi rst example of Illyrian name on Aucissa fi bulae. A large number of fi bulaewith fairly illegible inscriptions in two lines were found in Dalmatia. The stamp was mostly addedlater, so we can assume that they were produced in some local workshop on the east Adriatic coast, inNarona, Salona or Iader.The largest number of Aucissa fi bulae comes from the places that have researched necropolis,such as Nin, or the ones with strong agriculture such as Aseria or Gardun.The problematics of the Aucissa fi bulae could be clarifi ed exclusively by the archaeologicalresearch of the earliest Roman necropolises, especially the ones in Salona and Gardun.
