The Roman-era necropolis in Lora, Split

Zrinka Buljević

Sažetak

The largest Roman-era necropolises in Split were ascertained in
the city’s north-west, at the Lora and Poljud sections. Nenad Cambj
described the features of the necropolis in Lora, discovered in 1965,
with mainly incineration burials in urns, and two walled graves for
inhumation, with non-systematic interments, which is indicated
by the lack of grave plots, sepulchral architecture, gravestones and
inscriptions. Only the inscription of Gaius Orchivius Amemptus is
built into the southern wall of the monastery church in Poljud, near
Lora, is held as a possible indicator of sepulchral architecture at the
grave plots in Lora and Poljud. Nenad Cambj dated the necropolis
in Lora to the latter half of the first century to the third century
AD, based on the aforementioned find context. Mladen Nikolanci
dated the group find of urns and grave goods of the devastated
ossuary in Poljud in 1953 to the end of the first and early second
centuries AD. All gathered and preserved materials which is known
for certain to come from the Split necropolis in Lora are analyzed
in this work. The graves are numbered as in the Inventory of Finds
from the research conducted in 1965 and evaluated with due
consideration for the relevant goods and find circumstances, and
all goods are catalogued. They bear witness to organized Roman
life on the Split peninsula from the latter half of the first to the third
centuries, and possibly also the fourth century AD.
