Abstract

The paper presents the finds of fragments of bronze artefacts decorated in the style of Situla Art, discovered in the area of the foundations of Roman temples B and C in Nesactium in 1979, 1980 and 1981. The fragments depict typical figural and floral scenes and belong to belts and situlae created in the period between the end of the 6th and the beginning of the 4th cent. BC. The parallels for these scenes are most often found in the area of the southeastern Alps. The fragments that particularly stand out are those that depict scenes for the first time encountered in Nesactium – a boxing competition and a procession of warriors. These were found in the same group of fragments and compared with scenes on the situlae from Bologna and Kuffern.
