Critical approach to the exhibitions of the imperial cult in Roman Illyricum with regard to its early stage of development

We discuss the period when the imperial cult was introduced in the Roman province of Illyricum, as well as political and social characteristics of that institution. On the basis of such framework we consider critically the exhibitions of the monuments at the archaeological museums in Zadar, Split and Vid. Although there is great number of monuments related to state and imperial promotion of power, they are scattered in different units concerning religion, architecture and the so-called fine arts. We must treat it as a whole which offers an opportunity to reconstruct high politics, social relations and processes of Romanization.
