The Dolichenus sanctuary of Vetus Salina (Adony) was built in the decads after the Markomann wars, at the end of the 2nd century. Its interior (6x17 m) was, on ground of the fragments of wall paintings and columns unearthed, divided. According to its measures the building had to be classified among the medium-sized sanctuaries on the Danube-Rhine limes. It was destroyed about 238: deliberately demolished, than set on fire. In its inventary the most characteristical relics of the cult are the signa, triangular sheets with relief decoration. On ground of the signum holders there were 3 or 4 items, one of them the largest Dolichenus-triangle known. In the material of the dolichena the Sol bust used as a badge and the horse statuette, belonging to the decoration of the carrying-chair, occur for the first time. Zs.B. 161.
