Sažetak
At the beginning of the 1st century AD, the Legio VII established the fortress of Tilurium at Gardun near Trilj in Croatia and remained there until the mid-1st century AD. After the legion departed, auxiliary troops stayed in the area of Gardun until into the 3rd century AD. From the site of Gardun a great number of various Roman finds are known, including some 250 engraved gems. Some of these gems are engraved with figures of warriors, equestrians and mythological heroes such as Achilles. Although lacking the archaeological context, the gems bearing depictions of warriors and heroes can be connected with the Roman soldiers from Tilurium as being their possible owners.
