Abstract

The subject of the paper is a votive inscription dedicated to Silvanus Domesticus. The monument was discovered in Vinkovci in salvage investigations carried out in 2007. The find is dated and placed within the wider context of the Silvanus cult in the province of Pannonia. This aspect of Silvanus (Domesticus) enjoyed its widest popularity in Pannonia, unlike, for instance, in the neighbouring province of Dalmatia.
