Abstract

One fragment of the inscription, now kept in the Archeological Museum Zadar, was recorded in the inventory log as a Bribir find (ancient Varvaria). However, according to the recently published diaries of Lujo Marun, the fragment was actually found in Skradinsko polje near Skradin (ancient Scardona). The fragment is identified as a remnant of a statue base, erected in the honor of Emperor Lucius Verus. Through the analysis of the inscription, authors have proposed its fuller reading, concluding that the monument was erected between 163 and 165 AD.
