A New Latin Inscription from Vinča in Belgrade

Abstract

A fragmentary lower part of a statue base with a Latin inscription carved on its bottom side was accidentally discovered in Vinča, in the area of the archaeological site Ošljane, in the summer of 2020. The remains of а Roman building (presumably a villa rustica) were located at the aforementioned site. After the discovery, the monument was stolen, then it was soon recovered and transferred to the National Museum of Serbia. The inscription records the career of a member of the equestrian order.
