Tauroctony from Vratnitsa

Rectangular relief in limestone (H. 0.44 Br. 0.565). Now walled in to the r. of the door of the vicarage at Podhum. The relief was found in the grounds of Alija Lihic in Vratnica near Lisicici in Herzegovina. As in these grounds, on the r. bank of the Narenta many Roman bricks were found, Patsch was of the opinion that a sanctuary existed here, but only excavations can confirm this.
