Antique Glass Vessels from Siscia

Remza Koščević

Sažetak

In this short article a small group of glass vessels of Siscian origin from an important private collection in Sisak is presented. Individual find groups from the same collection have already been published (Prilozi 15-16/1999, 17/2000, 18/2001 and 19/2002).
The collection also contains jewellery (carneol gems, rings, armbands, earrings, bracelets, beads and pendants), locks, keys and padlocks, different tools (hammers, awls, mallets, hooks) and other accessories (lamp hooks, ansae, handle fastening systems, knives, forks), weapons (lance and arrow heads, battle axes, spurs etc.), play-tokens, coins (aureus, argenteus) and ceramic vessels (amphorae, jugs, urns) and other objects. With the exception of the first of the Siscian glass specimens, No. 1, which has a broken rim, the remaining six vessels are completely preserved. Among the balsamaria, bottles with a round bottom (Pl.1, 1, 2, Fig. 1 a,b) represent shapes common in the first century. The rather specific bottle with a long neck and a standing plate (Pl.1, 3., Fig. 2d) remains without more precise chronological definition for lack of parallels, and in a broader context it can be dated to the first-third centuries. The spherical bottle (Pl.1, 4, Fig. 2a) overlaps with such finds from the first century, as well as the patera-shaped little plate (Pl.1, 6, Fig. 2e) and on the basis of numerous analogous Italic and Pannonian examples it can be dated to the second part of the first century. A closer dating of the conical glass with engraved line decoration (Pl.1, 5, Fig. 2c) cannot be determined within the expanse of first-third century period, to which other similar specimens have been dated. Parallel to other identically designed vessels, the rectangular olla cineraria (Pl.1, 7, Fig. 2b) probably dates from the second part or the end of the first century and from the second century.
