Kornelija A. Giunio ; Archaeological museum Zadar

Abstract

Some 6 km east of Benkovac, and around 1 km to the south of the present day village of Podgrađe, stands a hillfort that was the site of Asseria, one of the most important centers of Roman Liburnia.
The Roman state was able to carry out to the full extent its civilizational and political missions in this region. Many monuments appear in the Roman provinces that are closely connected to the imperial cult, where they represent an expression of the loyalty of the local population.
Six monuments directly and indirectly related to the worship of the imperial cult in Asseria are analyzed in catalogue form and in the context of finds.
