Un tipar pentru turnarea bronzului descoperit la Durostorum
Bronze Casting Mould found at Durostorum

Summary/Abstract: The author presents a full preserved mould for casting bronze objects discovered at Durostorum–Ostrov–Ferma 4 during the excavation campaign in 2009. The mould was used for casting circular pieces, most probably harness elements. The context of the find seems to prove the existence of a bronze workshop inside the civilian settlement from Ostrov–Ferma 4; this idea is also supported by a large number of crucibles, fibulae, appliques, strap-ends, tablets and other unfinished bronze objects. Additionally, in the same area, a large number of unfinished bone artefacts and raw material was discovered.
