Sažetak
Dendrophori were members of a collegium which played an important role in the cult of the Great Mother Cybele (Mater Deorum Magna). The collegia dendrophorum are very well attested in the Italic Regio X of the Roman Empire, known as Venetia et Histria. Three in-scriptions from Pola, dated to the 1st, 1st/2nd and 3rd century AD, provide the majority of information about the dendrophori (CIL V, 56, 61, and 81–82). Based on a reinterpretation of the inscriptions from Pola, fifteen members of the collegium can be identified. Among these are a magister, disciples (schola dendrophorum), and two female members. That is particu-larly significant as women had not previously been attested as active members of collegium. I examined the relationship between the two inscriptions, assuming that Cybele’s priest con-ferred his burial plot to the precise group of dendrophori. I also found that people of differing social status were members of the collegium. Finally, I concluded that the dendrophori, ser-ving the Great Mother Cybele, were a prominent association in Colonia Pola from the 1st to 3rd century AD.
