Northwest
of Fulfinum, on the Ert peninsula, which separates Omišalj Bay from Sepen Cove,
there is the Kurilovo necropolis, which dates back to early antiquity, and the
ruins of a Romanesque church whose name was probably St. Cyril. This is a
standard Romanesque church with a semi-circular apse. The saint was venerated
by the Glagolitic Benedictines from Omišalj. Although the name of the site,
Kurilovo, is connected with this name, certain archaeologists believe that it
refers to ancient urn graves that were accidentally discovered in the Middle
Ages and later on during agricultural work in the fields. It is true that a
large number or graves with urns and rich grave goods (coins, luxury glass
items, ceramic items of everyday use) of the inhabitants of the ancient town of
Fulfinum were found at this site. This is probably the central part of the
Fulfinum necropolis from early antiquity. The quality of grave goods, mostly
imported products, attests to the wealth and residential character of the town,
which was inhabited by retired soldiers who were Roman war veterans.
