Cives Coloniae Ris...? Likovi s antičkih epigrafskih spomenika rogatičko-romanijskog područja
Figures from the epigraphic monuments from Rogatica – Romania area

Summary/Abstract: The area of Rogatica had a special significance in the development of the ancient province of Dalmatia. It contained the urban and administrative core of a colony whose name is fragmentarily preserved only with the fi rst three letters RIS... The found epigraphic material also implies the presence of inhabitants of this “Rogatica” municipal unit. On eight epigraphic monuments eight different people have been identified. In the area of Rogatica and Romanija individuals with an Aelian gentile name are predominant (5 individuals), while two individuals carry Ulpian gentile names, and one a Claudian name. These persons performed a number of different municipal duties. As can be seen from their gentile names, the municipal aristocracy of the Ris... colony is dominated by people of native descent. Apart from epigraphic monuments, a number of other ancient remains were also found in the areas surrounding Rogatica. In the Early Middle Ages this region had a signifi cant meaning for the local Romanic populations, which is additionally confirmed by the name of the mountain Romanija.
