Sažetak
An analysis of the fine pottery of the Hellenistic and Roman period, found in excavated sanctuaries of hero/god Diomedes in the island of Palagruža and on Cape Ploča in Dalmatia (Croatia). The archaeological research on the island of Palagruža and at cape Ploča gave sufficient material evidence of the cult of Diomedes in Adriatic. The excavations revealed large quantity of pottery fragments. The most of the pottery fragments belong to fine votive pots. Some of them are bearing the incised graffiti with the name of Diomedes, attested about 40 times.The pottery finds from Palagruža which can be connected with the cult of Diomedes could be dated from the Late Archaic, Classical period until early Roman Imperial period. According to the preliminary pottery analyses most of the fragments are from Hellenistic period. At cape Ploča the oldest finds can be dated to the beginning of the 3rd century BC, but the most of the pottery belongs to the 2nd and 1st century BC. The coins found at both sites correspond to the period of second half of the 4th century BC to the time of Augustus.
