%X Sa£¿etak The penalty of banishment in the Roman criminal system could take one of three forms: exilium, deportatio and relegatio. These penalties received adequate elaboration by Roman jurists, though their appearance in epigraphic evidence referring to actual cases is rare. In this paper, the authors provide an analysis of two inscriptions which record the criminal case of the Roxolani King Rasparaganus, who was defeated by the Roman Emperor Hadrian during his military campaign in Sarmatia in 117/118 AD and subsequently sentenced to relegation to Uljanik Island situated in Pula Bay. The case is of great interest because it reveals the general development of the Roman criminal concept of relegation and the particular degree of its development in the first decades of the 2nd century AD. Furthermore, the case is interesting because relegation can be analysed in an actual case and, finally, because the case of King Rasparaganus records a range of goals that the Roman criminal policy intended to achieve by resorting to the penalty of relegation of an individual to a particular island. In this paper the authors affirm the epigraphic evidence of Roman provenance as a source which may be profitably used to study criminal institutes in ancient Rome
