Abstract

Publije Kornelije Dolabela bio je marljivi upravitelj provincije Ilirik u vrijeme nakon Augustove smrti i početka Tiberijeve vladavine. Njegovo djelovanje u provinciji bilo je usmjereno na sustavno provođenje rimskih vrijednosti. Epigrafska baština Dalmacije nam živo svjedoči o njegovim vrijednim postignućima tijekom sedmogodišnjeg namjesništva.
Jedan od važnih natpisa je CIL III 1741 pronađen u Cavtatu, antičkom Epidauru. Prvi put ga je objavio Marko Silvije, notar Dubrovačke Republike 1547. godine. Istraživanje za potrebe ovog rada produžilo je utvrđeni opseg njegove notarske službe u Dubrovniku za sedam godina. Silvije je ovaj spomenik predstavio europskim epigrafičarima i zapisao dragocjene podatke o dijelovima kipa i arhitekture koji još uvijek nisu dovoljno istraženi.
Predaja o grobnici rimskog namjesnika Publija Kornelija Dolabele u Epidauru utkana je u imaginaciju dubrovačkih autora koji su uz Senat, u skladu s humanističkom modom, nastojali svome Gradu prisvojiti drevnost i prestiž rimske kolonije. Antički odjek u Dubrovniku osjetio se na svim razinama, od isprava i umjetničkih djela do javnih spomenika, a upravo se rimski natpis pronađen u 16. stoljeću idealno uklopio u propagandu o odnosu dva grada koju su Dubrovčani stoljećima naglašavali.

Abstract (english)

Publius Cornelius Dolabella was a proficient governor of the Illyricum province in the time after the death of Augustus and the beginning of Tiberius' rule. His activities were mailny focused on implementation of Roman moral values and legal regulations. In seven years, he has accomplished tremendous achievements in the development of the province, which is most evidenced by the epigraphic heritage of Dalmatia.
One of the monuments is CIL III 1741 inscription from Cavtat, roman Epidaurum. It was first published in 1547. by Marcus Sylvius, a notary from the Republic of Dubrovnik. Research for the purpose of this work has extended the established range of its notarial service in Dubrovnik for seven years. He presented this monument to European epigraphers and wrote valuable information on the sculptural and architectural parts that are still not sufficiently researched.
The Republic of Dubrovnik strove to appropriate the ancient origin of Roman Epidaurum, as the Renaissance trends of the time dictated. Based on the Cavtat inscription, authors from Dubrovnik created the legend about Dolabela's tomb in Epidaurum which ideally fit into the story of the City's antiquity and additionaly attributed to its ancient prestige.
