JUPITROV KULT U BURNUMU.

- Abstract
The traces of the cult of Jupiter can be followed through epigraphic inscriptions and sculptures. The existence of the oldest shrine of Jupiter is confirmed by the finding of four votive arae dedicated to this deity, of which particularly distinctive is the one with the Iovi vow. They date to the turn of the millennium, before the end of the 1st century BC or the early 1st century and were consacrated by the soldiers of the XXth legion. Five monuments dedicated to Jupiter with the epithets Optimus and Maximus, which were erected by the beneficiaries of the Ist legion confirm the assumption of the existence of a beneficiarial station in Burnum. The finds of a damaged relief depicting Juno, next to which there probably stood Jupiter and Minerva and two colossal heads which could be related to Jupiter, are proof of the existence of a large cult complex. These findings, together with the epigraphic monuments which were dedicated to Jupiter and erected by civilians, are evidence of the spread of the cult of Jupiter even after the withdrawl of the Roman army from Burnum.
