Sažetak
During rescue archaeological research carried out in 1986 and 1987, a large number of epigraphic monuments (127) were found. This paper presents for the first time nine inscriptions found as Roman spolia. These include seven grave stelae, three of which are preserved in fragments and others being complete, and one funerary altar (ara), as well as two fragments of a sarcophagus. Six of the monuments were found in graves as parts of the grave construction, and three in masonry structures. One fragment did not have enough data for restitution and inscription analysis, but from the others, names, statuses and occupations of the deceased, as well as their relationships with each other, can be observed. Two monuments were erected by mothers to their children, two by children to their parents (one of whom was an adoptive parent), three by spouses to each other, and one by a master to his slaves. Two cognomina should be singled out: one is rarely encountered in Roman Dalmatia (Capitolinus), while the other is very rare (Epagathinus), and this could be its second mention in the area of the Roman Empire.
