Summary/Abstract: During the archaeological excavations wich were carried out in the year 1965 inside of the northern Roman necropolis from Romula, a plate has been found, at a distance of 0.45 m from a cremation grave. The archaeological context and the features of the plate point out a dating for this vessel in the first half of the 3rd century AD.
