TWO ROMAN FUNERARY MEDALLIONS FROM NORTH CROATIA IN THE CONTEXT OF NORICOPANNONIAN STONE CARVING PRODUCTION
Branka Migotti
Sažetak
The funerary medallion is a kind of Roman gravestone that was widespread
in Noricum, and somewhat less so in Pannonia. So far only two examples are
known from Croatia, one from the village of Majur to the west of Bjelovar, and
the other one from the village of Biškupci southeast of Daruvar, both unfortunately
chance finds without a precise archaeological context. The first part
of the paper addresses a general spatial-chronological and cultural context for
such finds. The second part discusses the only two such monuments from north
Croatia, which were first published in 2018 within a wider evidence of Roman
funerary monuments from north-western Croatia. In this paper these two medallions
are juxtaposed and discussed in minute detail in their archaeological
and cultural-historical context within Norico-Pannonian funerary art. The example
from Biškupci is dated to the early 3rd century, and the one from Majur to
the mid or later 3rd century.
