Abstract

The paper publishes the recent discovery of a Roman altar built into the Church of St Petka at Surčin, Greater Belgrade. From the palaeographic features of the inscription and the dedicant’s gentile name, the altar has been dated to the second half of the second century. Examination of the published epigraphic corpuses reveals the existence of yet another, fragmented, altar from Surčin, and the author draws attention to an error in its publication. The paper offers an overview of the portable archaeological finds from Surčin which suggest an early Roman settlement (first century) in the ager of Bassianae.
