Abstract

The paper discusses one of the two columns on the former Roman Forum in Zadar. The author gives a brief description of the entire architectural complex comprising the columns, what were probably the well-heads of two wells, and two altars underneath the Capitolium on the Forum’s western side. It follows the destiny of the column that, in the whirlwind of historical changes that the space surrounding it had undergone, ended up in Campus, the medieval square in front of the Archbishop’s Palace. Here it became a public structure serving as a “shame post” or pillory column (a berlina, as it is recorded in Zadar’s medieval statute).
