Discover more about Ancient Roman Tombstone

The Ancient Roman Tombstone in Zagreb is a relic from the Roman era, found within the grounds of Ribnjak Park. This tombstone serves as a reminder of the Roman influence in the region, long before Zagreb became the city it is today. The artifact dates back to the 1st to 3rd centuries AD, a period when the area was part of the Roman province of Pannonia. Archaeological finds, including this tombstone, suggest that the area around Kaptol was settled well before 1094, the year from which Zagreb's written history is typically counted. The tombstone, with its rustic appearance, is believed to have been carved by a local master and placed in one of the Roman necropolises near the road connecting Emona (Ljubljana) and Siscia (Sisak). While the tombstone itself is the main attraction, its location within Ribnjak Park adds to the experience. Ribnjak Park, once a pond for the Zagreb Archdiocese, is now a green oasis in the city center. Visitors can enjoy a peaceful stroll through the park, surrounded by nature, while contemplating the history represented by the ancient tombstone.
