Kult mučenika na istočnoj obali Jadrana

U ovom radu autor obrađuje temu kulta mučenika na istočnoj obali Jadrana. Glavna tema su kršćani mučenici koji su izgubili svoje živote tijekom progona kršćana koji su se dogodili tijekom treće faze od 250 do 311 AD. Nakon Dioklecijanovih progona u 304, mučenici su tajno pokopani u privatnim grobljima u Saloni. Tijekom vremena, ovo groblje se počelo širiti u znatnoj mjeri, jer su svi htjeli biti pokopani blizu svetaca. Kasnije je velika bazilika izgrađena iznad tog groblja. Svećenik Asterion i četiri Dioklecijanova vojnika pokopani su u Kapljuči, koja je najstarije groblje. Sv Anastazije pokopan je na Marusinac, koji je možda najpoznatiji lokalitet u Saloni. Manastirine je, međutim, najveće i najbolje istraženo groblje, a Sveti Dujam je tamo pokopan. Jedini mučenik pokopan u Poreču je prvi poznati biskup sveti Mauro. Oni su prikazani svi zajedno na mozaiku u oratoriju pokraj krstionice svetog Ivana Lateranskog po nalogu pape Ivana IV. Prva od tih ranijih crkava u Poreču sagrađena je u privatnoj kući pokraj sjeveroistočnim gradskih zidina u vrijeme kad je kršćanstvo još uvijek procesuirano. Dvostruka crkva tada je sagrađena na istom mjestu, najstarija od tri jednobrodne bazilike. Groblja u Saloni su dobro očuvana, dok je arhitektura domus Ecclesiae oštećena daljnjim prilagodbama.In this paper, the author elaborates the subject of the cult of martyrs on east Adriatic coast. The main subject are Christians martyrs who lost their lives during the persecutions of the Christians that occurred during the third stage from 250 to 311 AD. After Diocletian's persecutions in 304, the martyrs were secretly buried in private graveyards in Salona. Over time, these graveyards started to expand to a considerable extent, as everyone wanted to lie close to the saints. Later on great basilicas were built above these burial grounds. Priest Asterius and four Diocletian's soldiers were buried in Kapljuč, which is the oldest of these cemeteries. A big basilica, heavily renovated over time, used to stand at this cemetery. St. Anastasius was buried at Marusinac, which is perhaps the best known site in Salona. Manastirine is however the largest and the best explored cemetery, and Saint Dujam was buried there. The only martyr buried in Poreč is the first known bishop St Maurus. They are depicted all together on mosaic in oratory next to the baptistery of St John Lateran by order of Pope John IV. The first of these earlier churches in Poreč was built in a private house next to the north-eastern city walls at the time when Christianity was still prosecuted, and when St. Maurus was executed in these prosecutions. A double church was then built on the same spot, so as an earlier three naved basilica. Cemeteries in Salona are well preserved while the architecture of domus ecclesiae is damaged by further adaptations
