Sažetak
The article discusses two Liburnian cippi of the Asserian group decorated with garlands and various heads placed in their lunettes. The decoration of the anepigraphic cippus (no. 1) consist of garlands
hung from ox heads (buchrania) and a partially preserved female head in the lunette of one of the garlands. On the cippus of Rubria Rufina (no. 2), two hanging leaved garlands flank the inscription, and one curved fruit garland frames it on the upper side. This curve (lunette) also contains a female head. Both heads are interpreted as “untypical” masks, the head from cippus no. 2 as a female theatrical mask, and the head from cippus no. 1 as most probably a female theatrical or Gorgon mask. Both cippi are dated to the 1st century AD: the cippus with buchrania and garlands to the first half of the 1st century, most probably in the period of Tiberius or Claudius, and the cippus of Rubria Rufina to the second half of the 1st century, or the Flavian period.
