The article is devoted to the publication of a unique bronze jug from the cache of the burial of a young woman in a burial mound excavated in 1989 near the Krasny Kut Farmstead on the left bank of the river Manych, dating from the second half of the 2nd - early 3rd century AD. The jug has already been described and discussed several times in the 1990s, so in this article I shall limit myself to the main conclusions and also present new parallels and considerations. The images on both the handle and the body of the jug are associated with the Trojan cycle, a description of the events that took place during the siege of Troy, the death of Achilles and the story of the sacrifice of Polyxena by Neoptolemus at the tomb of his father. If we accept the dating of the jug in question, substantiated here, to the 2nd century AD, and even more to the period of the Marcomannic Wars, it is obvious that there was not a big gap between the time of manufacture of the jug and its deposition in the burial, although there is no need to talk about the connection between the context of the find and the symbolism of the jug - it was hidden in the cache of the burial of a young Sarmatian woman, probably not its first owner, and the routes along which it travelled to the nomads in the vicinity of Tanais could have been different, including that via the Cimmerian Bosporus.

A collection of Roman Period metal objects was acquired with the help of a metal detector survey in the vicinity of Přelouč. The artefacts were handed over to the City Museum in Přelouč. Of special impor tance among this collection is a Roman gilt finger ring made from a copper alloy, dated back to the 2nd–3rd centuries AD, and a pyriform balsamarium of the type Bienert 102/103. The collection is dominated by brooches, which can be dated from the end of the 1st century until the 4th century. Most of them belong to the Late or Final Roman Iron Age. This might indicate that the settlement reached its peak within this time period.

În articol sunt descrise „ciocănaşele” de la uşile locuinţelor din cartierele vechi ale Anatoliei Centrale. „Ciocănaşele de uşă” reprezintă nişte cópii ale mânerelor lighenelor din bronz din secolul I p. Chr., cunoscute în arheologie ca „lighene Eggers 92”. Descoperirile de lighene Eggers 92 sunt concentrate în provinciile romane din bazinul Rinului, în Germania şi Dacia, iar ataşe ajurate ale mânerelor au fost descoperite şi în mormintele sarmatice din regiunea Povolgiei. Toate aceste piese se încadrează în perioada cuprinsă între a doua jumătate a sec. I a. Chr. şi prima jumătate a sec. I p. Chr. În Asia Mică nu sunt cunoscute descoperiri de lighene Eggers 92, însă familiarizarea meşterilor turci cu astfel de recipiente este evidentă. Regiunea în care apar „ciocănaşe de uşă”, care repetă mânerele lighenelor, este periferia provinciei Galatia – locul de trai al celţilor de est. În această regiune nu doar pătrund produse meşteşugăreşti din Celtica europeană şi sudul Italiei, dar reprezintă şi un spaţiu de tranzit al importurilor din perioada La Tène târziu mai departe spre est şi nord.

A leggyakrabban a germán vandál etnikummal azonosított Przeworsk-kultúra magyarországi településeinek kutatása az elmúlt évtizedben fontos új eredményeket hozott. A tanulmány e római császárkori kultúrkör Magyarország területén feltárt településeinek legújabb kutatási eredményeit foglalja össze, illetve ennek alapján foglakozik a település terület kiterjedésével, a relatív kronológia problémájával, az anyagi kultúra fejlődésével és a kultúra kapcsolatrendszereivel. The archaeological investigation of the settlements of the Przeworsk culture, generally identified with the Germanic Vandals, has yielded important new results during the past decade. The study reviews the new advances made in the study of the settlements of this Roman-period cultural complex in Hungary and addresses various issues such as the extent of the settlement territory, the problems in relative chronology, the development of material culture and the culture's connections.

This study aims to analyse the finds that can be connected to what we defined as being the first stage of Sarmatian diffusion in Wallachia. The purpose is not to insist on the date of the arrival, which was debated on several occasions, for it would mean to contradict ourselves and restart a possibly endless argument on dating funerary features. Instead, the purpose is to detail, as far as the funerary finds allow us to do so, the image of the Sarmatian communities that the Romans allowed to settle close to the limes of Moesia Inferior.

In the last decade, the Hungarian research of settlements belonging to the Przeworsk culture, generally identified with the Germanic Vandals, yielded important new results. The aim of this paper is to summarize these latest results based on which it also discusses the extension of the settlement territory, the problems of relative chronology, the evolution of material culture as well as the relations of the above-mentioned Germanic ethnic group in the Roman Imperial Age1.

There is only a handful of burial sites dated to the Roman Period on the territory of the Eastern Slovakia. Only hitherto excavated cemetery dating to this period is located in Zemplín. In the year 2014 new Przeworsk culture cemetery was identified in Rankovce. During four seasons of the archaeological research forty-six burials were excavated at the site. Cemetery can be dated to the phases B2b - C1a of Roman Period and assigned to the Eastern zone of the Przeworsk culture based on the inventory of the burials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present study takes into discussion the trade relationships between the Roman Empire and India, reflected both in literary contemporary sources and in archaeological finds. Among the different material categories (pottery, bronze objects, coins), there are many glass vessels. The majority seems to come from Alexandria or Levant, but the high number glass vessels manufactured in western or Italian style, found in the western side of the Indian Ocean, reflects the amplitude and in the meantime the specific features of these trade connexions.

The excavation of a tomb of the Roman-Parthian period in Dibba Al Hisn, Sharjah, is discussed. The contents provide evidence of far-ranging trade contacts extending from the Mediterranean to India. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
