Sažetak
The article is an attempt of interpretation of two reliefs on a late antique sarcophagus exhibited in The Archaelogical museum in Split. Through an iconographical analysis and examination of the proposed mythological and historical background, the author comes to conclusion that sarcophagus carries an extremely rare image of two Kabiri, complemented, possibly, by an image of Atis depicted on the opposite side of the sarcophagus. Identification of such an iconography is based on a certified iconography of Kabiri cult, which can be found on late antique coins all over the Roman empire, as well as in the mythological background of the same cult. Such an identification, if it is correct, would be unique in the context of Croatian art history, as well as in the whole context of exploration of this mysterious cult.
