Several unpublished inscriptions from the lapidarium of the Archaeological Museum in Split

This paper deals with nine epigraphic monuments from the lapidarium of the Archaeological Museum in Split which most likely came to the Museum in the period from the 1920s through the 1940s' There are specific data on the location and time of discovery for some of the monuments covered herein, but for most there is no precise data on location and time in the inventory logs. The monuments are mainly from the area of Solin and Kattela, and they are in large part gravestones. The inscriptions in their restored form and as photographs have already been accessible for some time in the digital database Ubi erat Lupa and, consequently, in the Epigraphic Database Clauss-Slaby, but they are incorporated here as inscriptions found in Split. Nonetheless, since they have not been comprehensively published thus far, they are interpreted in this paper. There are mostly complete inscriptions which contain several new names not previously known in the Roman onomastics in Dalmatia. All of the inscriptions can be dated from the 1st to 3rd centuries. Two monuments in particular may be highlighted, as from the typological standpoint they have a lesser presence in Dalmatia, and these are large built-in funerary plaques. Based on comparisons to several similar monuments, it appears that the production of such plaques may be dated from the mid-1st to the beginning of the 2nd century. It may be assumed that several monuments were in secondary use, but since there are no data on the discovery context for most, nothing can be confirmed with any certainty.
