Abstract: In this paper is presented one stray find of a ceramic votive relief with representation of
Serapis, found in the area of the necropolis from II-III century on the site of Ue near Obrenovac.
Apart from the iconographic analysis of the plate, the spread of the cult of Serapis in the Roman
provinces was considered. Furthermore, the analysis of finds directly suggesting that veterans were
settled in the site of Ue and its vicinity, especially during the reign of the Severan dynasty (which is
at the same time the period of the greatest expansion of the cult of Serapis), also raises possibility that
the owner of this votive relief might have originated from military circles. Judging from the finding
place, but also taking into consideration the very shape of this object, it may be deduced that its
probable function was connected with funerary context, i. e., with the role of Serapis in the afterlife.
Key words: Serapis, cult, Roman period, Severan dynasty, funerary context, Pannonia Inferior
