THREE INSCRIPTIONS FROM SENJ FROM ROMAN TIMES

MIROSLAV GLAVIČIĆ

Abstract

While making an inventory of stone monuments belonging to the ruins of St. Francis Church at Senj, there were noted three inscriptions from Roman times. The author, while dealing with this subject in his article, presents the restitution of their texts, dates
them and pays special attention to the analyzes of the dalas presented therein. The inscriptions, which were engraved by M. Gnorius Satyrus to his daughter Gnoriae Secundinae and by Flavia Pročula to her husband lusto Neapolitano, are being in fact the epitaphs. The first inscription was dated first half of the 2nd c. and the other one the end of 3rd c. resp. early 4th c. The persons, mentioned in those epitaphs, are of eastern origin, but specially interesting assumption in the context is that lustus was
Christian. The third inscription belongs to a group of inscriptions having public character and speaks about enlargement of the sanctuary of the God Liber. It is being dated about 2nd
century.
