Roman stone monuments in the Church of St. John the Baptist in Podkraj near Tomišelj
Abstract
The article offers an exhaustive account and analysis of the Roman stone monuments discovered in the Church of sv. Janez Krstnik (St. John the Baptist) in Podkraj near Tomišelj in the Ig area. Beside the already known tombstone CIL III 3816 = 10735, discovered at the end of the 19th century and subsequently brought to the National museum of Slovenia, two consecutive renovations of the church in 2008 and 2010 have exposed eight new Roman monuments, which are published here for the first time. The full and comprehensive inventory most prominently involves an inscription and a fragmented tombstone with a partly preserved portrait niche and a unique example of a whirl rosette. The inventory completes with a further fragment of a weathered tombstone, three supportive bases and two architectural blocks.
Keywords: Slovenia, Podkraj near Tomišelj, Ig near Ljubljana, Church of St. John the Baptist, Roman period, epigraphic monuments, anepigraphic monuments, iconography, epichoric Ig anthroponymy
