A contribution to the knowledge of Roman cult vessels on the east coast of the Adriatic

Ulomak keramičke kultne posude pronađen u Puli ističe se kompozicijom prikaza zmije koja hvata guštera. U radu su navedeni primjeri srodnih posuda s kontekstom nalaza i vremenom upotrebe, različiti kultovi u kojima su korištene i razmjerno bliža radionička središta u kojima je posvjedočena izrada kultnih posuda s reljefnim figurama zmije i guštera. Na temelju poznatih nalaza moguća je okvirna datacija posude u razdoblje 1. – 4. st., no nije moguće pouzdano odrediti u kojem je kultu služila.A fragment of a ceramic cult vessel discovered in Pula is notable for its composition depicting a snake catching a lizard. This paper presents examples of related vessels with the context of their discovery and period of use, various cults in which they were applied and relatively close workshop centres whose production of cult vessels with relief depictions of a snake and a lizard has been attested. Based on known finds, the vessel can be approximately dated to the period from the first to the fourth century AD, but it is not possible to reliably determine the cult it served
