Abstract
This paper deals with the production of votive altars on
the sample from early Roman Liburnia. The investigations
carried out in this area so far have shown that the majority
of altars are simple, small, and very small. This occurrence
has been interpreted either as a reflection of the native,
Liburnian taste, or as a reflection of the workshops’
standards. An analysis of the ethnicity of their dedicants,
as well as of the dedicants’ economic and social status,
speaks in favour of the latter view, since it has proven that
all layers of the population had been using votive altars,
not only the Liburnians, or only the poor.
