20.500.12556/DiRROS-25512 A curved vitis or a pair of twisted ropes? The iconography of maritime command on the stele of Liccaeus, Apsorus Zvita vitis ali par prepletenih vrvi? Ikonografija oblasti na morju na Likejevi steli iz Apsorja The article examines the tombstone of the naval centurion Liccaeus, which was discovered in the village of Osor (Apsorus) on the island of Cres. According to the inscription, it appears that a public site was allocated for the monument, indicating the honorand’s significance to the local community. Liccaeus is depicted wearing a tunic and a sagum, but the most unusual feature is the object he holds in his hand. This object has often been interpreted as a rope tied into a knot, similar to those used for mooring ships. Little is known about the appearance of the command staff, vitis, that was a distinctive symbol of also naval centurions. However, depictions on Ravenna tombstones from the Early Imperial period which feature an object similar to knot suggest that, during this era, the vitis for naval centurions may have been represented differently. Given the absence of any attributes on the tombstone that would directly associate the deceased with his rank, it is possible that Liccaeus is holding a vitis, which, by its appearance, could also refer to his maritime skills. V članku je obravnavana nagrobna stela mornariškega centuriona Likeja, ki je bila najdena v naselju Osor (Apsorus) na otoku Cresu. Sodeč po napisu, je bilo zanjo izbrano javno mesto, kar priča o centurionovi pomembnosti za kraj. Likej je oblečen v tuniko in sagum, nenavaden pa je predmet, ki ga drži v roki. Največkrat je bil interpretiran kot vrv, zvezana v vozel, kakršnega so uporabljali za privez ladij. O videzu poveljniške palice (vitis), ki je bila prepoznavni znak tudi mornariških centurionov, je malo znanega. Prav upodobitve na ravenskih stelah zgodnjega cesarskega obdobja, na katerih je upodobljen nekakšen vozel, so spodbudile domnevo, da je bila vsaj v tej dobi vitis pri mornariških centurionih upodobljena drugače. Glede na to, da na steli ni nobenega atributa, ki bi pokojnika povezoval z njegovim činom, bi lahko Likej v rokah držal prav vitis, ki bi z videzom obenem lahko namigovala na Likejeve pomorske sposobnosti.
