Abstract

In the period from April 25, 2009, to April 20, 2010, along
the route of the Istrian highway between Umag and Pula, a
rescue archaeological excavation was carried out at the site of
Višnjan-Brestić, where a Roman/Late Roman villa rustica
was discovered. In this work we present a part of the Late
Roman glass material, most interesting and most numerous
among which are fragments of drinking glasses that were used
as receptacles for drinks, possibly also as oil lamps, and beads
that were unearthed as grave offerings.
