Sažetak

Pendants on Roman riding harnesses were hung with the help of
phalerae or directly on the straps to contribute to the impression
made by the rider’s appearance. Their function, however, was not
only decorative, as the form, details or the images on them added
a symbolic meaning. Their protective role was the most important,
i.e. they were meant to ward off evil or misfortune. The analyzed
items belong to various pendant groups. Since they arrived in the
Museum as chance finds, and detailed circumstances surrounding
their discovery are not known, they were dated with the help of
analogous examples from various Roman-era sites. Riding gear,
including its manner of decoration, reflected the social status of
the rider, i.e. his military rank. The pendants analyzed here are of
various types, but they were dated within the framework of the first century.
