Abstract

Two fragmentary altars found by chance in Grudine, Solin
are published in this work. Th e larger altar is dedicated to
Ceres, Victoria and Venus. Evidence of worship of Ceres
and, particularly, Victoria in the province of Dalmatia
is very meagre, as opposed to the very widespread cult of
Venus. Th e other altar is dedicated to Silvanus V() and
Liber. A minimum of six altars from Roman Dalmatia are
dedicated to Silvanus V(), while the connection between
Silvanus and Liber is present on only one other Dalmatian
monument.
