Sažetak

se proces formiranja dijela naselja uz more, a na sada brojnim epitafima pojavljuju se
osim rimskih imena i ona s autohtonim predznakom. Najvažniji nalazi iz G. Podstrane
uključuju nekoliko nadgrobnih stela, natpis o posveti nepoznatog svetišta i Silvanov
kultni reljef, a mnogo brojniji nalazi uz more, uz cestu s nekropolom - pedesetak
nadgrobnih spomenika, fragmente skulptura, ostatke hipokausta, cijevi manjega
vodovodnog sustava i položaj ranokršćanske bazilike (Sv. Martin), vjerojatno uz manje
lučko pristanište. M. Attius Cinna (1. st.) i L. Artorius Castus (2. st.) najpoznatiji
su ,,stanovnici" Pituntija i jedini koji se višekratno spominju na natpisnoj graĎi.
The Archaeological Profile of the area around Podstrana
As well as literary sources and epigraphic material, the archaeological topography of the
area is a very important means of arriving at a picture of the cultural environment of
Podstrana (Pituntium) during ancient times. Pituntium is situated between the lager
centuriatus of Salona to the west and the territory of Nerastini to the east. This territory
managed to keep its basically autochthonous character. This is indirectly testified by the
lack of typically Roman epitaphs and other material. The part of the settlement situated
under the Primorska kosa (Stara Podstrana ) is the core of the earlier settlement. During
the 2 nd and 3 rd centuries, the formation of a new settlement near the sea was completed.
After this the inscriptions include Roman names. The most important finds from Gornja
Podstrana are several stelai, the inscription mentioning the dedication of an unidentified
sanctuary, and a Silvanus cult relief. More numerous finds appear on the costal road
where the remains of several necropoli are to be found. Among other remains discovered
near a small harbour, are some 50 inscriptions and epitaphs, fragments of sculptures, the
remains of a thermal heating system, the pipes of a water supply system, and the site of
the early Christian basilica of St. Martin. M. Attius Cinna (1 sr century AD) and L.
Artorius Castus (2 nd century AD) are among the most significant people from Pituntium
mentioned several times in inscriptions found in the area..
