Comment

While preparing the terrain for the drainage network. Right after the snow melting of the snow cover, the driver discovered on the caterpillar blade a deformed metal vessel and a lump of patinated metal plaits and he realized that they were old coins. Despite the presence of authorities some coins may still be kept by the locals who checked the ground after discovery.

Containers belonging to this hoard

Copper alloy sheet jug

Pear-shaped vessel. Damaged several times in the Roman period, as evidenced by the preserved four ancient patchworks. Height: 24.2 cm; bottom diameter: 11.25 cm; rim diameter: 4.5 cm patchwork. Two small defects on the body were repaired by means of narrow riveted metal strips, a large one underlaid with a wide band of copper sheet, which held 29 rivets. The vessel is a product of poor quality manufacture of the 1st-3rd centuries AD. Kellner H.-J., Zemmer-Plank, L. and Kellner, E. - 1984, 60, Abb. 5
