The reutilization of Roman-era Sarcophagi and two Canons of Split from the 15th and 16th Centuries

Arsen Duplančić

Abstract

Two Roman-era sarcophagi reused by the Split
Canons Ilija Babalić and Marinellus Ricius at the end
of the fifteenth and beginning of the sixteenth centuries
are published in this work. Babalić’s sarcophagus
was situated in the arcosolium at the Peristyle,
while the sarcophagus of Ricius was probably inside
the cathedral. A section of the visitation of Canon Ivan
Manola from 1704 was analyzed as testimony to the
use of the sarcophagi and their number in the area
around the cathedral. The sarcophagus of Archbishop
Martin (10th cent.) and the reutilization of some other
sarcophagi are considered. Some new data on the sarcophagus
of Fr. Frane Bulić are also presented.
