Abstract
Great number of preserved epigraphic votive inscriptions bearing mention of early medieval Croatian rulers is a phenomenon noticed long time ago which contributed significantly to better and more precise stylistic classification of pre-Romanesque sculpture on the eastern Adriatic coast, its further subclassification and more precise dating of certain morphological groups of pre-Romanesque reliefs. Since the exhibition Croats and Carolingians (2000-2001) three more votive inscriptions have
been found or recently recognized which seem to bear names of two Croatian rulers from the 9th century – Mislav and Branimir.
