Sažetak
The Late Iron Age sanctuary at Nakovana Cave provides a unique window onto the world of the Illyrians, the indigenous inhabitants of Dalmatia in the 1st MBC. In that millennium, the Mediterranean was a cosmopolitan world, with people, ideas and objects in seeming constant motion. Such commerce had a transformative effect on all parties. Communities in the region were able to adopt or reject cultural items and/or practices from abroad in order to suit their particular strategic ends. Nakovana cave, with its large assemblage of Hellenistic and local pottery, found in an undisturbed context around its cultic monument, is discussed with respect to the construction of cultural identities on the margin of the expanding Greco-Roman world.
