Abstract

This work contains an analysis of the discovery of a Roman-era
grave stela from the Pazdigrad section in the city of Split. During
the Roman era, the site at which the inscription was found
was certainly some type of settlement or estate with its own
necropolis, of which there is no physical evidence today with the
exception of movable artefacts discovered over the wider area of
Pazdigrad and Žnjan over the past 150 years. This settlement was
located to the south of the road leading from Epetium to the Ad
Dianam outpost, and based on finds it was inhabited from the
first century onward. The inscription itself exhibits several very
interesting linguistic details which may be deemed confirmation
of the existence of Vulgar Latin in the first century.
