hr.wikipedia Brač : Najvažniji kamenolomi su bili Plate, Stražišće i Rasohe između Splitske i Škripa. Odatle se kamen dopremao u luku Splitska, a zatim do gradilišta Salone i Dioklecijanove palače. O svemu ovome svjedoče brojni epigrafski spomenici na otoku. [Die wichtigsten Steinbrüche waren Plate, Stražišće und Rasohe zwischen Splitska und Škrip. Von dort wurde der Stein nach Port Splitska und dann zur Baustelle von Salona und Diokletianspalast gebracht. All das beweisen zahlreiche epigraphische Monumente auf der Insel.]

HERCULES ON THE ISLAND OF BRAČ / Nenad Cambi (https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=193381)
Recently, a path has been cleared, and a tourist-archaeological route has been marked on the boardwalk in Splitska, leading to the Rasoha quarry and the relief of Hercules. Hercules is depicted naked, with only the Nemean lion-skin draped over his left shoulder. The lion’s head had to be made at the bottom of the skin. Both his fists are rather large compared to his other body parts. That particular detail is accentuated on purpose in order to show Hercules’ strength, which is a well known phenomenon of Roman sculpture.
The relief most likely dates back to the first half of the third century. The figures carved in the stone are cult reliefs of the deity feasting in his natural environment. The sanctuary in nature did not only exist in Rasohe, but also in the Stražišće quarry which is very close.
