Sažetak
In Salona, the cult of Dionysus, or Liber, was particularly strong, as shown by monuments uncovered to date, particularly the temple. This is a tetrastyle temple opposite the theatre, in the immediate vicinity of the forum of the oldest part of the city (Urbs vetus). In addition to the temple, a number of sculptures of the deity are known, such as a marble torso, or a lower part of a sculpture with a panther, or a sculpture showing Dionysus’ followers – the satyrs and maenads, his thiasos. These sculptures might have been put up as cult statues or votive gifts in the temple mentioned or in some other shrines, individual inscriptions of which on stone beams and altars have been found. Scenes of the Dionysus cult are also to be found on Salona sarcophagi, such as Dionysus’ triumph in the east on some recently discovered fragments of an Attic sarcophagus ; on tombstones there are frequently mentioned allusions to the connection of Dionysus with the subterranean, in other words, with immortal life. These monuments indicate a considerable presence of the cult of Dionysus, or Liber, in Salona.
