Pre-autonomous City Administration of the Curictae Municipality in Liburnia

Summary/Abstract: This article will cover the pre-autonomous city administration of the Curicum municipality (town of Krk) located on the island of Krk in the Kvarner gulf. Originally, this region was part of the Illyricum Roman province, in the later years (9 A.D.) it became part of the newly established Roman province Dalmatia. The subject matter of examination are two Latin inscription discovered in the aforementioned municipality. These inscriptions record information about two significant structures found in the municipality (the city walls and the temple of Venus) and the government officials who approved the construction of said structures. The inscriptions designate the title of “PRA” to the government officials, which is commonly conceived as an abbreviation for praefecti or praetores in the academic community. In this article, I will elaborate on the correct way how to interpret the “PRA” abbreviation and the possible authority and standing of the aforementioned officials it the provincial public administration.
