Sažetak

The Vinkovci Municipal Museum holds warrior equipment and fragments of bronze vessels found in Vrtna Street in Vinkovci in 1965, which are most likely burial objects from destroyed graves. Weapons dating from the Early Roman period include a sword, two long narrow headed spears, a shorter spear and a conical spear mount. Handle with stamp ABVDVSF and two sherd of rim belongs to the bronze vessels of unknown shape. Based on their typological characteristics, the sword and the spears are assumed to belong to the weaponry of warriors of autochthonous Celtic origin, who participated in the Roman conquest of southern Pannonia at the end of the first century BC or in the suppression of the Pannonian-Dalmatian rebellion early in the first century AD. It is also possible that the warrior gear belonged to members of an auxiliary detachment that was temporarily deployed in Cibalae to guard Italic settlers in the newly occupied territory of the eastern interfluve. Other parts of the warrior gear date to the Early Middle Ages, which is – in the area of Vinkovci – evidenced by Gepid and Langobard finds.
