Sažetak
After the founding of the Burnum legionary camp and the arrival of the Roman army, the Krka river became a lifeline, through which Roman naves could sail deep into the hinterland. A diverse population settled in this region, reflected in a diversity of cults. Jupiter became a highly revered deity, along with Mars and Venus Victrix. Worship of the regional imperial cult was organized in Scardona. Worship of the goddess Latra was recorded by the prominent Scardonitan autochthonous family Turanii. Rivers have always been crucial for the survival of mankind, a fact illustrated by the Krka river. The worship of Neptune, god of the sea and rivers, at the Čavlinov buk crossing, and Magna Mater, as a patroness of river sailing and trade, in the port section of Skardona further support this thesis.
