Also known as: Italian: Titograd; Latin: Dioclea

PODGORICA. - It is the ancient "Dioclea" in eastern Illyricum, where in 1873 a large dish of diaphanous white glass with raised rims was discovered, on which scenes drawn from the Old and New Testaments have been engraved with crude explanatory inscriptions.

In the center is the Sacrifice of Abraham, and around it Adam and Eve (beside it is written "Abram et Evam"); the Resurrection of Lazarus (inscr. Dominus Lazarum vetuscita); the miracle of the spring (inscr. Petrus virga perquosset fontes ciberunt quorere [per curere]); Daniel among the lions (inscr. Daniel de loco leonis); the Three Youths in the furnace (inscr. Tvis pueri de egne cami[ni]); Susanna (inscr. Susanna de falso crimine); Jonah (Diuna de ventre queti liberatus est).
