Abstract

Another chance find near the hamlet of Vašarovine in the village of Priluka prompted another examination of this important and complex, yet systematically unexplored locality in Livno field. The fragment of a pediment with a partial relief image is examined with a particular focus on its iconography, style and function. It is associated with the cult of Genius or Liber, indicating the existence an organised Roman settlement and a cult/pilgrimage centre in Vašarovine, where a recognisable masonry workshop was also active.
