Abstract

The front of a sarcophagus with an early Christian inscription was found at the archaeological site of Rižinice near Solin. It was secondarily built into a mediaeval grave. The inscription provides information about the purchaser and a minatory formula against desecration of the grave. Examples of vulgar Latinity can be noted in the text, while the piece of in- formation on the amount of denarii, marked with an asterisk, are particularly interesting. The author also warns of the possibility of the existence of a small late antique necropolis at the site.
