Sažetak
Three capitals from the Museum of Croatian Archaeological
Monuments prompted an analysis of identical
capitals in Croatia, and even farther afi eld. They
have been designated as Gradina-type, based on the
best known examples from Gradina, in Solin. A similar
group of capitals has been designated as Srimatype
capitals. Th ese groups are contemporary with
each other and date to the period after the liberation
of Dalmatia from the Ostrogoths, meaning after 537
AD. Th e Gradina type, found in arcatures, appeared
in larger settlements in the sixth century: Dubrovnik,
Split, Sikuli and Krk. Smaller capitals of this type are
concentrated on the island of Brač and the mainland
coast just opposite the island. The existence of
a workshop on Brač can be hypothesized. Th e Srima
type does not appear on church arcatures, rather it
belongs to church furnishings. Finds are concentrated
in the Makarska littoral and its hinterland. Based on
the churches in Gata and Srima, the type has been
dated to the period after the reconquest. Th ere are no
capitals of this type on Brač, so the workshop should
be sought in Salona. Analysis of the two types of capitals
indicates intense, well-planned and rendered
construction after Justinian’s reconquest, and will facilitate
further analyses.
