Sažetak
The sarcophagi of Brač-Salona type are among the most important Early Christian artefacts originating from the area of the Adriatic basin, i. e. from its eastern coast. Most of them were found in Dalmatia, mainly on the island of Brač (Brattia) as well as in the provincial capital Salona and its surroundings. They were also exported into Italy in large quantities (Ravenna, Puglia etc.). Although these sarcophagi were analysed several times, there are still many issues to be resolved, particularly when it comes to dating the group. After the seminal works by I. Fisković and N. Cambi, recently several findings relevant to the issue were published in Italy that went unnoticed. Conversely, some newly-found and important examples of Dalmatian provenance were also overlooked. This lecture enriches the catalogue of sarcophagi of Brač-Salona type with the addition of several new pieces. One of them (found at Treviso) also enables a discussion on the origin and dating of the whole group. Its contents – an Early Byzantine encolpium – is an important step towards specifying the chronology of Dalmatian sarcophagi. All of this allows for a more detailed chronology regarding their production and distribution of the entire group.
