Sažetak
The excavations on the Cape Ploča (Ražanj, south of Rogoznica, Šibenik), according to Plin. NH III 141, called in antiquity promunturium Diomedis, revealed the remains of a Hellenistic sanctuary. The cult place existed from the end of the 4^th cent. to the mid 1^st cent. BC. An enormous quantity of pottery fragments, a number of gems, small metal objects and coins were found. There are more than 500 pottery fragments bearing Greek graffiti. They belong to votive pots offered to Diomedes whose name was attested 30 times. The preserved names of the dedicants are almost all Greek. From a votive formula X kai hoi synnautai attested 11 times, it could be presumed that the shrine was visited mainly by the crews of the ships sailing along the east Adriatic. The promoters and patrons of the Diomedes cult on this place could be Greek Isseans ; their important role in the Adriatic commerce of the period is well known.
