Sažetak

Fragments of a stele featuring two spouses, long believed
lost, were found embedded in a wall in Marinovići (Selo), Podgora.
They were first published by the Makarska canon, Ivan Josip
Pavlović-Lučić, in the work Marmora Macarensia, such that
in the first (Venetian) edition he also provided a drawing of the
monument (Fig. 1). All that remains of the stele are two visible
fragments with the portraits of the spouses turned forward
(Fig. 2, 3) and several more fragments that may have belonged
to the inscription field, unfortunately turned (facing?) inward
(Fig. 3).
This paper recalls the content of the inscription, analyzing
the name formulas and onomastics (of the names) of the deceased
and the commemorator, as well as the portraits of these
persons. Based on the overall data, dating to the tetrarchic era
is proposed. The man is depicted in a tunic with a rectangular
robe fastened by a bulbous fibula at the right shoulder (Fig. 4).
The deceased woman is depicted as a palliata, wearing a long
tunic (talaris?) and draped in a palla which forms a contabulatio
(Fig. 7) at the breast. Stylistically, the portraits clearly point
to the tetrarchic era (Fig. 5, 6 and 8). The man has short
hair and a newly-grown beard (Fig. 5, 6), while the deceased
woman has the Scheitelzopf coiffure (Fig. 8). The surviving details
of the inscription and portrait are then compared to the
details from the drawing. The conclusion is that the inscription was conveyed rather accurately, even though some points
of contention remain, while the portraits and attire are depicted
with a multitude of erroneous details.
