Summary/Abstract: This article presents the results of a salvation archaeological investigation in Tulcea, on 14 Noiembrie Street, in front of the gate of the Azizie mosque. The inhumation tomb has a rich inventory made of four black glass bracelets, six bronze bracelets, five of which have rolled up ends, and another bracelet made of two twisted bronze wire, a silver ring, glass paste marbles, one rushlight and a bronze coin – a follis from the time of Constantine the Great. Based on the funerary inventory, the tomb was dated to the 4th century A. D. The found objects permit analogies with other items from the Roman-Byzantine necropoleis at Callatis and Beroe
