Abstract
The paper deals with 14 sepulchral inscriptions that belonged to the Salonitan civilians. From the information on the monuments one can confirm that these civilians spent some time outside the province of Dalmatia. Given that all of the individuals were civilians, they belong to the group of people who could decide by their own will where to go as opposed to the military population who themselves were not able to decide the same. On most of the inscriptions of these Salonitans, there are not explicitly mentioned what were the reasons to leave Dalmatia, so one can assume that the reasons were of an economic nature, mostly related to the overseas trade and crafts.
