Sažetak
A NEW MILITARY INSCRIPTION FROM THE ENVIRONS OF ZAGREB A fragment of a roman tombstone of white marble has recently found immured in the wall of the parish house in Čučerje, in the eastern suburbs of Zagreb. Only the upper right section of the monument is preserved. The inscription has a profiled frame, but the moulding is completely broken off, which indicates that nothing is missing from the inscription on the right side. The inscription surface is somewhat damaged, the letters being poorly visible in places. The letters are fairly regular with punctuation marks between the words. Of the inscription the right section of the first five lines is preserved. It seems that more than half is missing on the left. The preserved text could be interpreted as follows: [---]Vero [---] p(rimo)p(ilo) leg(ionis) [----] leg(ionis) IIII Fl(aviae) [--- Pr]oculin(a)e [---] o(bitae) ann(orum) L ------ The letters in the first line should be most probably interpreted as cognomen (Verus) or as its end (– verus). It is the only inscription on which the legion IV Flavia is mentioned in this part of Pannonnia. The monument may be only approximately dated to the end of the 1st or to the 2nd century AD. Čučerje had some scarse chance finds from the Roman age before and it seems it was not a very populated area. Closest roman city is Andautonia (Ščitarjevo southeast of Zagreb). Testimonies from 18th and 19th century tells of the roman bath, and some other antique walls found in Čučerje walley. It is also known that inhabitants have found some roman coins, from which one of the emperor Valens, is now in possesion of the Archaeological museum in Zagreb. Čučerje is also a findspot of another roman inscription, votive altar for Hercules, destroyed in odd circumstances at the begining of a 19th century (CIL III 4007). Its text has been copied by various authors of that time. Reading according to CIL: Herculi / Aug(usto) sac(rum). / P(ublius) Ael(ius) Ver- /(us) pro salute- / te sua et / suis / v(otum) s(olvit) l(ibens) m(erito). The names are very frequent, so the identification with person mentioned on the gravestone is not convincing. Location of mentioned architectural remains is not known today. A recent small scale field surveys undertaken lately, discovered no artifacts or any other remains from the Roman age in Čučerje and its surroundings.
