| Popis: | Obnovivši trijem jedne zgrade na Isi o svojem trošku, legat i patron grada Kvint Numerije Ruf upisao se u povijest istočne obale Jadrana za razdoblje Cezarove uprave nad provincijom Ilirik (58. – 50. g. pr. Kr.). Posvjedočena nekad prisutnim natpisom, prisutnost Cezarova legata na Isi u tom izrazito bitnom razdoblju odavno je zainteresirala domaće i strane istraživače, posebno njegova funkcija, vrijeme dolaska i razlozi njegove prisutnosti. No od značajnog članka B. Gabričevića Issa i njen patron Q. Numerius Rufus do danas nije objavljen noviji rad koji se bavi tom tematikom. Stoga autor ovdje donosi noviju analizu nekoliko aspekata prisutnosti legata Kvinta Numerija Rufa u Iliriku: analizira se dostupna argumentacija kada najranije datirati njegov dolazak na Isu, ukazuje se na prethodne pogreške u pretpostavkama o Numerijevoj funkciji te se naglašava Numerijevo iskustvo kao jedan od glavnih razloga zaduženja u Iliriku. Repairing the portico of a building on the island of Issa at his own expense helped the legate Quintus Numerius Rufus, the patron of the city, to enter the history of the Eastern Adriatic coast during Caesar’s administration in the province of Illyricum (58-50 BC). Ascertained by an inscription found on Issa, the presence of Caesar’s legate on the island in that very important historical period drew a great deal of interest among Croatian and foreign researchers long ago, particularly his function, year of arrival and reasons for his presence. However, as there have been no recent papers dealing with the subject even since important B. Gabričević’s paper Issa i njen patron Q. Numerius Rufus, this author has included here a recent analysis of several aspects of the presence of legate Quintus Numerius Rufus in Illyricum. The available arguments supporting the accurate dating of his arrival to Issa are analyzed, mistakes in the earlier hypotheses on Numerius’ function are indicated, and Numerius’ experience as one of the principal reasons for his appointment in Illyricum is underlined. |
