Abstract

Two votive reliefs dedicated to the Roman deity Hercules
are held in the Archaeological Museum in Split. The objective
of this paper is to provide an iconographic analysis of the monuments,
wherein is posed the hypothesis on the possibility
of the existence of thus far unknown attributes in the iconography
of the renowned mythical hero in Croatian territory.
An attempt will also be made to pinpoint the location of the
sanctuary dedicated to Hercules in Salona or its surroundings.

Keywords

Hercules, votive relief, sanctuary, Salona.
