The ruins of Viminacium, the capital of the Roman province of Moesia Superior, are situated 90 km southeast of the Belgrade in Serbia, and about 12 km from the town of Kostolac in the vicinity of villages Stari Kostolac and Drmno. It was established as a military camp in the first century CE with a legion permanently stationed there. The stone vessel was discovered during systematic archaeological excavations of the public bath complex with a public toilet near the amphitheater in Viminacium. The finding is dated by relative chronology in the second half of the third century. The vessel is topologically defined as a mortarium according to shape and size. Mineralized deposits were preserved inside the vessel rim, sides, 2 and base. Microscopic analysis of the mineralized deposit revealed eggs of intestinal nematode roundworms (most likely Ascaris sp., but possibly Pterygodermatites sp.) from the sides and base of the vessel. This is the first time that parasite eggs have been identified from concretions inside a Roman stone vessel, and have strong parallels with a previous finding of parasite eggs in mineralized deposits from a ceramic chamber pot from late antique Sicily. The finding suggests the possible use, or secondary use, and function of the stone vessel as a sanitary item (such as storing wiping implements) for personal hygiene in the public bath of Viminacium. Further paleoparasitological research requires a systematic analysis of calcified deposits from Roman period stone vessels for more clear insights into their function, use and reuse.

READ MORE Life along Communication Routes from the Roman Period to the Middle Ages is the result of the conference Roads and Rivers 2 held at the Institute of Archaeology in Zagreb in 2020, enriched with additional invited contributions. The volume presents the latest research on Roman roads, not just in terms of their basic infrastructure but also exploring various aspects of life that were connected with it, from the Imperial period to that of decline, acculturation and integration of new identities, within the three Roman provinces of Pannonia, Moesia and Dalmatia. Within this area, various studies of new finds, alongside new observations and ideas are presented. They add to our knowledge not just of the Roman roads themselves but also about roadside stations and other facilities in various landscape contexts (such as Mediterranean and continental areas). The contributions also investigate the distribution of goods and ideas from the Roman period to the Middle Ages, and deal with different aspects of life as it developed and was transformed along Roman roads.

Therefore, the study of construction materials and building techniques represents just a small contribution to the general study of its architecture.Locally produced brick and stone from the nearby quarry, bound with lime mortar, represented basic construction materials of Viminacium. Those, available materials, influenced the development of the applied building techniques.

The origins of such lids date back to prehistory: that is, the Bronze Age – the earliest period in which they have been documented so far. It is maintained that the practice of covering food with a lid during cooking originated from an even older culinary practice of covering meat or fish with a thin layer of clay. The prehistoric dome-shaped lid developed into two basic shapes. The first one resembles the shape of a bowl and has two handles, while the other one is closer to the forms still in use today: a hemisphere with one handle at the top. It was used in both the Roman and Medieval periods, while, with the arrival of the Turks, a metal – i.e. iron – lid (peka or sač) comes into use. Until a century ago, it was extensively used in the area from Prekmurje to southwest Hungary, in Baranja, the entirety of Bosnia, on the Adriatic coast and throughout Serbia.

Six are from buildings that had a storage function, five are from public facilities - an amphitheatre, and only one find is from the military fort of the legion VII Claudia, which was stationed in Viminacium in the second half of the 1st century. Thirty-two seal boxes have been processed: nine whole, six with fragmented upper and lower parts, seven bases and ten covers. Seal boxes consist of two parts: the cover and the base. The cover is decorated with figural images, concentric rings and especially with applied ornaments. Some of the motifs are filled with enamel. The base always has three to five circular perforations at the bottom, the side walls are a height of 4 to 5 mm with two opposed notches or slots which are thought to have facilitate...

They were wheel-thrown, mould-made or manufactured by using a combination of wheel-throwing and mould-made appliqu?s. Given that face vessels are considerably scarcer than other kinds of pottery, more than fifty finds from Moesia Superior make an enviable collection. In this and other provinces face vessels have been recovered from military camps, civilian settlements and necropolises, which suggests that they served more than one purpose. It is generally accepted that the faces-masks gave a protective role to the vessels, be it to protect the deceased or the family, their house and possessions. More than forty of all known finds from Moesia Superior come from Viminacium, a half of that number from necropolises. Although tangible evidence is lacking, there must have been several local workshops producing face vessels. The number and technological characteristics of the dis...

On the Southern Necropolis of Viminacium (sites Vise grobalja and Pecine) 21 vessels of this type have been found. The features they have in common are a long slender neck and the absence of handles. Based on the shape of their bodies nine groups have been identified. Although they are similar to glass balsamaria, the term bottle seems more appropriate chiefly on account of their size. Of several proposed suggestions about their basic function, the most plausible seems to be that their primary use was as containers for products packed in small amounts. Although most published finds come from burials, the question of their significance and use in funerary rituals remains inadequately elucidated. It is impossible to say with certainty whether the larger-sized vessels of a later date had the same function as the smaller Hellenistic and Early Roman ones. What is cert...

ROMAN POTTERY FROM VIMINACIUM, 2023
The Roman conquests of these regions, in addition to a different structure of government, led to ... more The Roman conquests of these regions, in addition to a different structure of government, led to great changes, reflected in many aspects of life. The process of Romanisation, which implies the acceptance of various Roman customs, took place most rapidly in the cities, and Viminacium, as the capital of the province of Moesia Superior and the statio of the VII Legio Claudia, certainly represents a good indicator of the situation in other parts of Moesia Superior, mainly places located along the Iron Gates part of the Limes. The area investigated in Viminacium is negligible compared to its total surface area, but the long-term excavations of the city, military fort, suburban areas and necropoles, in addition to the discovery of architectural remains, have also yielded a large amount of archaeological material. Bearing in mind that the Roman Empire was a single political and trading area with an extensive network of land and water routes, products from different centres were distributed throughout the empire. The study of numerous objects of a utilitarian and ritual character allows for a rather faithful reconstruction of life in this city and its surroundings during almost four centuries of Roman domination. Ceramic vessels, as the most numerous type of finds, not only in Viminacium but also on most other sites, help us see the picture more clearly, not only in terms of the local production and import of vessels to Viminacium, but also of economic and trade relations with other areas. They enable us to follow the routes by which the products arrived, as well as to determine the time of their arrival. Vessels also represent one of the important indicators of the changes caused by the arrival of the Roman army in the area where a population at a significantly lower level of development lived, organised into several tribal communities. Vessels bear testimony not only of the adoption of new technologies for their production, but also of changes in eating habits. Thanks to them, we learn that with the arrival of military units and their supporting structures, food products that were unknown in these parts began to be consumed in Viminacium. The first to bring and use these goods were soldiers and the newly arrived population, but the new products were also accepted by the local population, in different dynamics.

je jedan od većih do sada istraženih grnčarsko-opekarskih kompleksa na prostoru provincija Gornje
Mezije, Panonije i Dakije. Sastoji se od dosada istraženih 13 peći (10 za keramiku, a 3 za opeku i drugi
građevinski materijal). Njegovi proizvodi nalaze se u širokom krugu, kako u samoj provinciji, tako i
u susednim. Izdvojeno je preko 45000 fragmenata, koji su razvrstani u 15 oblika i 130 tipova posuda.
Brojno najzastupljeniji su oblici trpezne, zatim ognjišne keramike, dok je luksuznija keramika zastupljena
manjim brojem. Najvećim brojem oblika odlikuju se zdele i lonci, a najmanjim pitosi i patere.
Pronalasci fragmenata posuda sa apliciranim zmijama, kao i kalupa za tera sigilatu ukazuju na to
da su majstori Zanatskog centra poznavali i izrađivali i tehnološki zahtevnije oblike posuda. Glavno
tržište koje je snabdevano ovim proizvodima je lokalno stanovništo i stacionirana vojska. Putevi eksporta
išli su tokovima Dunava i najviše se nalaze uz njega dok se u unutrašnjosti provincije manje
sreću. Materijal koji je ovde obrađen potiče iz zatvorenih celina Zanatskog centra, iz ložišta peći, i iz
otpadnih jama uz te peći i hronološko određenje trajanja ovog proizvodžačkog kompleksa je kraj II i
ceo III vek.

Such containers are found in several sites on limes, e.g. Teutoburgium and Viminacium, and in urban and rural sites. During the research of Viminacium, pots with handles that cross the upper side of the rim are found at several locations. In addition to the settlement layers, they are most numerous in the amphitheatre. We distinguish three types of such pots. All are made of medium refined clay in grey or red color. Their outer surface is polished, in the case of grey specimens, and in the case of red ones, it is coated with tones of red slip. Two vessels are found in a well of a rural site (Liskovac near Cibalae). The context of the finds in Viminacium date to 2/3 of the 3rd century, while the context from Liskovac is dated to the end of 1st CE to the beginning of the 2nd CE. The origin of the form can be found in the prehistoric and ellenistic world, but its function is jet to be established.. The most interesting thing about them is that a great number of them were found in wells, which could mean to us that they could be used to extract water. Using the experiment, data from the excavations, literary sources and ethnographic data, we are going to try to propose the function of those vessels.

Povezivale su provincije i gradove, a bez njih Rimljani nisu mogli niti osvojiti niti zadržati se na područjima kojima su vladali. Rimske ceste stvorile su poveznice po kojima je u razdobljima nakon propasti Carstva organiziran život i osnivana su naselja. Inženjerske i geodetske vještine Rimljana pružile su temelj mnogim današnjim rutama. Život na nekim rimskim cestama nastavio se i nakon pada Carstva i nije prestao do danas. Glavni cilj projekta je interpretacija svakodnevnog života na rimskoj cesti, od početka rimske vlasti do razdoblja propasti, akulturacije i integracije novih identiteta. Ovaj projekt nudi priliku za novu perspektivu: kako se život razvija oko rimskih cesta i staze tijekom glavne upotrebe cesta i nakon što je završio? Život uz ceste se nastavlja čak i nakon što je klasično razdoblje rimskoga života prošlo, a bivše rimske pokrajine su međusobno povezane s narodima različitih pozadina i podrijetla.Duh rimskog načina života ostaje snažan stoljećima nakon propasti i pada rimske države. Taj razvoj / proces možemo pratiti u arheološkom materijalu i stoljećima kasnije, a dvojnost je zapanjujuća: s jedne strane, rimska kultura, u njenom promijenjenom obliku – snažno prilagođena novim povijesnim okolnostima i procesima – živi zahvaljujući ljudima i zajednicama koje podržavaju Romanski identitet kao vlastiti ; S druge strane, izravni nasljednik rimske, mediteranske / bizantske kulture i identiteta snažno utječe (izravno i neizravno) i definira srednjevjekovnu materijalnu kulturu koju su stvorile nove populacije s potpuno različitim identitetima, ali smješteni u bivšim rimskim teritorijima / pokrajinama. Obje perspektive su fokus projekta, s različitih gledišta.U LRR projektu rimske ceste će se proučavati kao osnovna arterija rimskog svijeta, ali i kao metafora uvođenja, prihvaćanja rimskog načina života.

This year's conference focuses on small finds, those types and categories of finds often presented summarily in the publication of research results; those which are considered uniform, chronologically indeterminate or difficult to determine, insufficiently known. Every research we come across finds that, at first glance, do not offer more profound knowledge or any significant conclusion about communities who left them behind. However, researchers often encounter new questions in specific cases when processing such findings. They can also notice certain deviations from the usual picture of the finds in question. For example, more ceramic vessels at the site than is usual in the period and/or area in question; the range of certain finds differs from the expected one, a find of this type in an unusual context, a new pattern of occurrence of a certain type of finds on the site, a morphological feature not yet observed and/or any deviation encountered by the researcher. We are particularly interested in such phenomena or cases that indicate the existence of certain communication paths or connections between different communities or cultural circles in the period from Antiquity to the Middle Ages in the Carpathian Basin.
Sections
Jewellery: local variants, curiosities, possible suprachronological or supraregional connections
Household items made of metal: type of finds which are usually deemed chronologically insensitive/neutral, but can point out to other patterns: social organisation or valuation of community or an individual, or any other phenomenon
Pottery: number, type, the context of the find deviates from the expected picture/result
The connection between Antiquity and Middle Ages; finds pointing to the existence of communication between different communities.

Petke Sl. 4 Natpis, ustvari kletva, u kapeli: "Ko čuva i ljubi svetinje zdrav nek bude, a ko odnese kofu, konopac i uzima novac što narod priloži za svoje zdravlje svetinji proklet neka bude nek pati od utrobe." 8 Korać, Golubović, Mrđić 2018, 45. 9 Severno i zapadno od grada i logora, od kraja 19. veka su pronalaženi pojedinačni grobovi, ali ti lokaliteti još uvek nisu sistematski istraživani. M. Valtrović je 1882. godine obavio sondažna iskopavanja južno, severno i istočno od grada i logora, tokom kojih je na svim mestima konstatovao grobove. Zaključio je da ih je bilo i zapadno od grada, na osnovu ostataka grobova koje su meštani u to vreme pljačkali (cf. Валтровић 1884, 6, 10).
