PONS TILURI
Eth.
PONS TILURI a station on the road from Sirmium to Salona, in the interior of Dalmatia. (
Itin Anton.; Tilurium,
Peut. Tab.; Geogr. Ray. 4.16.)
It may be identified with the passage of the river
Cettina or
Tsettina (Tilurus), at
Trigl, with the opposite height of
Gardun, where there are vestiges of a Roman town, which was probably the colony of AEQUUM (
Αἰκοῦον κόλ., Ptol. 2.16 (17). § 11;
Itin. Anton.; Pent. Tab.; Orelli,
Inscr. 502), where an inscription has been found commemorating the restoration of the bridge under the name of PONS HIPPI,--a Graecised form of the Latin name of the town, which was sometimes spelt as Equum. (Wilkinson,
Dalmatia, vol. i. p. 238; Neigebaur,
Die Sud-Slaven, p. 178.)
