A roman sculptural monument discovered in Barbaricum at Coşeiu (Sălaj County)

Subiect: In the spring of 2012, as a result of a eld research, in the village Coşeiu (Coşeiu commune, Sălaj county) a large fragment of a Roman sculptural monument was identified. The monument is a sculptural fragment that should come from a funerary building. On the primary side it has an ordinary funerary scene, a representation of the god Ais in the Ais tristis position. It notes the divinity representation on an altar, rarely depicted in this manner in Roman Dacia. The piece is worked in a naive and rudimentary way, but the craftsman attempts to respect certain anatomical proportionality, the subsequent alterations affecting visibly the representation quality. The monument from Coşeiu raises a number of questions regarding its place of origin. Given the circumstance in which the monument was found, the most probable place of its origin is the Roman sculptural workshop of Porolissum.
