Ivan Alduk
Sažetak
The paper presents new reflections on the role of Klis and its environments in the early centuries of the Roman period. The first part of the paper deals with the military strategic component of Klis, that was unquestionable through its entire history. Here are presented and interpreted old finds, in particular epigraphic artefacts that confirm presence of members of various Roman military units in Klis (ala I Parthorum, leg. VII, also known as leg. VII C.p.f. coh. VIII vol. civium Romanorum, and others). In the same way, that is by combining old finds and new interpretations, assumed is existence of a beneficiary station in Klis. The second part of the paper deals with functioning of the locality of Gradina kod Uvodića in Klis-Kosa. This locality has been known to us since the end of the 19th century, however it has net been treated in more details until now, although archaeological researches and documenting was started in the 1980s. Unfortunately, soon to be terminated. Given its context and character, it is assumed to have been a residential and sacral complex belonging to the nearby stone quarries from where stone was collected for building of various structures in Salona.
