Mosaic Inscriptions in the Basilica of Sv. Nikola (St. Nicholas) on the Island of Krk

The excavations at the site of basilica of Sv. Nikola (St. Nicholas) in Jurandvor (Baška) on the island of Krk revealed a complex sacral building with three naves, narthex, an apse inscribed into the straight back wall, and additional rooms (secretaria) next to the apse. Also, several graves and a sarcophagus, all pertaining to the local higher social class, were discovered within the narthex. Almost all of the floors in the basilica were decorated with mosaics, both two-tone and polychromic and on several of them the names of donors are mentioned. In this paper the authors discuss the importance of the aforementioned church and its inscriptions, especially within the wider distribution of such donor inscriptions found on the eastern Adriatic coast.
