• Resumen

  • This paper discusses a group of ancient sculptures made of imported marble in the central part of Dardania (Kosovo). Given the early state of antiquity archaeological research in Kosovo, it is not surprising that the number of these monuments is not very large. The works published in this article include two sarcophagi, fragments of five statues (one body, three heads and a fragmented statuary group) as well as a fragmentary relief, all carved from high quality white and grey marble. These sculptures were found in the well-known ancient centre of Ulpianum (close to Prishtina) and settlement of Vendenis (Gllamnik) and date from the 2nd - the first part of the 4th centuries AD
