Sažetak
In the second year of the rule of Claudius Caesar (AD 42) the Roman province of Dalmatia witnessed a military rebellion against the emperor. The incumbent provincial legate at the time was L. Arruntius Camillus Scribonianus (cos. 32). Therefore, this episode is known as Scribonianus’ rebellion. The disturbance was rather short-lived. It took the legions merely five days to turn against the rogue governor and return under the emperor’s banner. When Scribonianus realized the attempted rebellion had failed, he fled to the Adriatic island of Issa (Vis) and took his own life. This paper seeks to re-examine written sources pertaining to the rebellion, and to propose a series of material traces which could be related to the events in Dalmatia in AD 42.
