Abstract

The work presents fragments of Hellenistic bronze
situlae of bell shaped and stamnoid type found in the
area of the Roman capitolium in Nesactium during the
period between 1978 and 1983. They were subjected to
a typological analysis due to the unclear stratigraphic
circumstances. Bell shaped situlae are the product of
Etruscan workshops from the end of the 4th century and
3rd century BC, while the attachments with lion’s head
spouts are components of stamnoid situlae, made in the
Macedonian and Thracian workshops from the mid-4th
to the beginning of the 3rd century BC. They were fixtures
on luxury vessels associated with the consumption
of wine, and thus used at ceremonies, banquets and
symposia.
