Despre vasele de argint din hinterlandul provinciilor romane Dacia şi Moesia Inferior

  • Subiect: Although few in number the roman silver vessels are spread in time and space. Chronologically one can observe at least three different periods during which the silver vessels were buried under ground: the beginning stage of the 1st Century A.D., the ending stage of the 1st Century – the beginning of the 2nd Century A.D. as well as the first half of the 3rd Century A.D. All the discovery places belong to different archaeological cultures. Most of the discovered vessels represent roman provincial imports. One exception is the goblet from Porogi that might be of Asian provenance. The contemporary archaeological research methods cannot help us determine the specific place where these vessels were made nor, at least, the region where the workshops might have been found. There is one common characteristic for all these vessels: based on their shape, where we could establish it, we were able to conclude that they were all used for drinking. In the researched areas we haven’t yet found silver vessels used for eating. When looking at this issue from a more general view we can assert that this peculiarity is not specific only for silver vessels, but for all types of roman vessels of the barbaricum. Regardless of the material they were made of vessels used for drinking prevail among others. They are found in large amounts in the graves as well. An interesting question arises in this stage: do we deal with a taken over Greek-roman wine drinking custom? The large number of southPontic amphorae that was found stands as proof for the consumption of wine imported from the Empire. Whether these wines were consumed according to roman customs is another question still to be answered.
