The woman head in Paraćevi dvori in Salona

Nenad Cambi

Abstract

In this paper a fragment of a local sarcophagus (a lid acroteron) with a woman portrait is published. Since the type of the hair do is identical as the first to the third types of the Faustina Minor portraits and those of Lucilla, the sarcophagus must belong to the end of the 2nd century AD. Since the Paraćevi dvori, the Parać family house, is close to the Western Salonitan necropolis, it must have been found there. Very important Croatian painter, Vjekoslav Parać, painted his family house and even this fragment built in the wall near a side window. The Parać house is the evidence of the popular custom of building ancient monuments in the walls. This custom is also an evidence of the family historical and artistic sensibility.
