This article presents two inscribed clay figurines of bulls. The figurines were found at Poseidon's open-air sanctuary, in south-west Crete, which flourished during the Hellenistic period and continued its function throughout the Roman times. Several hundreds of clay figurines were the main offering to the god, all depicting the bull, the animal symbolising power and fertility strongly connected with Poseidon since the Prehistoric times. Only two figurines, out of the total volume found, are inscribed and reveal the names of their donors.
