Abstract

A monumental inscription dedicated to the Empress Faustina
(CIL III 14243) was installed in a wall of the bell tower of the Split
cathedral. It is today exhibited in the Archaeological Museum
in Split. The pedestal of the empress’s sculpture was probably
placed in a shrine of the imperial cult in Salona during the reign
of Marcus Aurelius, who can be credited with the erection of new
ramparts and also the considerable renewal of the capital of the
province of Dalmatia.
