Abstract
A fragment of a sarcophagus built into a wall in
the old section of the town of Rab is published in this
work. A relief image of the Good Shepherd is preserved
on the fragment, which is the first appearance
of this motif outside of the narrower Salona environs.
This prompted a consideration of the Salona monuments
which have an important place within Early
Christian sepulchral art and which to a considerable
extent set the tone for debates in the relevant European
literature on its formation at the turn of the 3rd into the
4th century. This work contains the first publication of
19th-century photographs tied to the problem of sarcophaguses
from Salona. The general conclusion is
that the Rab fragment was a local product based on
models from Salona.
