Sažetak
In the territory of present-day Croatia, i.e. parts of the X. Italian Region Venetia et Histria and Roman provinces of Dalmatia and Pannonia, more than 800 Roman votive altars have been found. The inscriptions on those altars provide a rich source of information and insight not only into the religious, but also economic and social life of the ancient world. The aim of this paper is to discuss the social status and purchasing power of the individuals who erected those altars, as well as their relation to the gods they worshiped. The analysis showed that people who dedicated the altars found in the territory of Croatia belonged to all social groups of the Roman society, from the slaves and the freedmen to the provincial governors. The dedicator's service is mentioned on 23% of the analyzed altars, giving us an overview on the various military and city, as well as religious and administrative services. The intention of this research is to extend our knowledge of the social and economic status of those people who erected the votive altars. This research is part of a PhD thesis examining the Roman votive altars from Croatia as indicators of economy and provincial society development.
