Found by chance in 1891 at Melnice-Vratnik, near Senj, in Croatia, this altar was acquired the same year by the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb. The moulding, decorated by a double frieze of foliage, has almost entirely disappeared. The main face bears a complete inscription of nine lines, datable to the end of the reign of Antoninus Pius or beginning of Marcus Aurelius's based on the name of the prefect.
