Crystal Clear. Two Early Roman Ribbed Bowls from Tomis in the Collections of the Museum of National History and Archaeology Constanța

Abstract

The two Early Roman ribbed bowls discussed in the present paper are part of the collections of the Museum of National History and Archaeology Constanţa (MINAC). Although both of them were previously published and subsequently mentioned in the archaeological literature in various occasions, the advances made in the research of this category of glass vessels since their first publication, from various perspectives, and the increasing number of finds all over the Roman world, make in our opinion quite useful a reassessment of these old finds from Tomis (present day Constanţa, Constanţa county, Romania).
