Les verres des nécropoles de Thaenae découverts aux xixe et xxe siècles

Abstract

The glass vessels that were previously discovered in the necropolises of Thaenae are kept in the museums of Sfax and the Bardo. This small collection of rare forms represents only a very small part of the material collected during the excavations. This contribution presents an overview of all the glassware from Thaenae, both extant and also items now lost but reported in earlier publications. The descriptive and comparative study highlights their specificities and attempts to establish their contexts of discovery through the examination of excavation reports drawn up at the beginning of the 20th century.
