Abstract

The paper presents several unpublished inscriptions, with a record
of Roman soldiers and military units, that are kept in the
Archaeological Museum in Zadar. For almost all of them, there
is no documentation that could provide evidence of their origin.
However, considering several facts, such as records in the
diaries of Lujo Marun, and historical circumstances that caused
the transfer of Roman monuments from the Museum of Croatian
Antiquities, in Knin, to the Archaeological Museum in Zadar, as
well as the placement of these stones inside the Museum’s depot,
the author concludes that all of the inscriptions originate from
the Liburnian frontier, that is, from the wider area of the legionary
fortress in Burnum.
