Abstract

First of all in this paper, some unknown data and drawings about two statuettes that were once hypothesised to have come from Etruria to have been found in Stari Grad on Hvar Island are published. A letter of P. Brainović of Zadar to M. Glavinić in about 1877 rejects this assumption. Based on four identical copies of a statuette of a male figure in European museums, it is obvious that it is a forgery from the second half of the 19th century. Subsequently, on the basis of one of Glavinić’s transcriptions, it is shown that the epigraph CIL III 8739 was not found in Salona but in
Narona during the Glavinić 1877 excavations. At the end a drawing of a dilapidated monument from Narona, CIL III 8439, is published, previously only known from a photograph of the rubbing of the inscription.
