Sažetak
The paper analyzes the group of sphinx sculptures from Nin (Latin: Aenona) found in the late 19th century and now kept in Archaeological Museum Zadar. Since they are funerary sculptures, created in the context of classical Greek & Roman Antiquity but somewhat neglected in Croatian literature, the authors give a detailed description of these monuments, tackling the origin and development of iconographic motif and trying to recreate the place, function and circumstances of their finding.
