Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the foramen of Civinini using craniological material. 75 skulls were examined, foramen of Civinini was found on one artificially deformed female skull (1.3%) from a catacomb burial, dated I-VII centuries AD. The study used cranioscopic and craniometric methods. Artificial deformation of the skull was classified according to Georg K. Neumann (1942) and was identified as parallelo-fronto-occipital, subtype-saddle-like depression. The skull was metopic; the metopic suture length was 111.11 mm. The initial segment of the metopic suture, 5.26 mm long, was weakly serrated. The Foramen of Civinini was complete and bilateral. The length of the left foramen of Civinini was 3.77 mm, the width was 3.48 mm. The foramen spinosum was absent on the left side; in the basal norm, the pterygospinous bar divided the foramen ovale into two parts, as it were. The length of the right foramen of Civinini was 4.14 mm, the width was 6.19 mm, in other words, the size of the foramen was larger than that of the left one. As on the left side, the pterygospinous bar divided the foramen ovale into two parts in the basal norm.
