D. Maršić, ArchAdriatica 1, 2007, 111-128; sl. 3-7.: Res.: A New Altar to Hercules from *Trogir* - In 1999, employees of the firm Etna from Kaštel-Lukšić were quarrying within a Roman quarry on the slopes of the hill of Sv. Ilije, locally known as "Kučićeva kava", and discovered an original entran ce to the quarry (Fig. 1), with several abandoned monumental stone blocks, a coarsely carved cylindrical stone vessel, probably an urn, and a very well preserved altar dedicated to Hercules, along with several characteristic amphora fragments. Although all of these finds were concealed within a several meter thick deposit of stone dust and chips, thanks to the testimony of Mr.Slavko Rodin, the owner of the firm and the quarry site, it is possible to establish with great certainty that the altar,certainly the most important find from this spot, was discovered beneath the stone cliff that overhangs the entrance to the fissure on the southern side
