The most important site discovered in Sremska Mitrovica in 130 years of archaeological investigation is the Site 1a – part of the Imperial Palace, explored in campaigns of 1957-1960,1971, 1974, 1976-1979 and 2006, 2007. Site 1a represents a part of the palace-circus complex of residential buildings luxuriously furnished with interior decoration of multiple layers of mosaic floors and imported porphyry and marble wall coating. This article is directed to the finds of glass vessels and windowpanes found during both early systematic and protective excavations and also from the excavations of 2006 and 2007, which were held as preliminary works for the Project of protective roof- covering of the site 1a-imperial palace in Sirmium. The main goal was to establish a typology of glass vessels found on this site for the Roman period, especially the Late Antique time, when the finds are the most numerous, and also to represent the glass finds from the Medieval period (14th - 16th century).
