Abstract
This paper presents findings related to the cult and depictions of Apollo in the territory of Salona, in the Roman province of Dalmatia. An analysis of inscriptions on two altars suggests that Apollo was worshipped in Salona both publicly and privately. The image of Apollo in a mosaic, as part of the floor decoration of a Roman residence, further attests to the popularity of his iconography for decorative purposes. As for the statues identified in the literature as depictions of Apollo, there is no definitive conclusion yet regarding whether they indeed represent the deity, or what their intended function was.
