Abstract

A fragment of a ceramic cult vessel discovered in Pula is notable
for its composition depicting a snake catching a lizard. This
paper presents examples of related vessels with the context of
their discovery and period of use, various cults in which they
were applied and relatively close workshop centres whose
production of cult vessels with relief depictions of a snake and
a lizard has been attested. Based on known finds, the vessel
can be approximately dated to the period from the first to the
fourth century AD, but it is not possible to reliably determine
the cult it served.
