Summary/Abstract: This article aims to highlight a category of neglected archaeological material from the collections of the Turda History Museum. Due to the fact that the presented fragments of Greek ceramics come from a donation, with an unknown archaeological context, it did not attract the specialists’ attention. The two stamped amphora handles provide us with a chronological frame limited to the 3 rd century BC, respectively the fragments of attic vessels and the oil lamp in the 4 th century BC. This study makes an important, albeit limited, contribution to the distribution of Sinopean amphorae and Athenian pottery in the western Pontic regions.
