Abstract (english)
Twenty four statues and other sculptures from the sculptural decoration of the palace of emperor Galerius in Felix Romuliana/Serbia were investigated. Provenance analyses revealed that the fine-grained marbles originate from the Pentelic quarries near Athens, and a second group clearly comes from the imperial quarries of Afyon/Docimium in Asia Minor. The very narrow spread in their composition suggests that the sculptures were made for a single commission. Two sculptures investigated within the course of this work are exhibited in the museum in Zaječar. The “Boar-hunt” shows a match with marbles from the area of Berkovitsa in the NW-Balkan Mountains, where the pink plates and veneers from Felix Romuliana also come from. No precise provenance of the “Ariadne” can be presented so far. One possibility is an origin from medium-grained varieties of Alpine marbles. Two fragments of a gigantic statue are composed of a coarse-grained marble that probably comes from the Bachern-Pohorje mountains in Slovenia.
