Glass Recipients from Sarmizegetusa Regia. Unguentaria and Bottles

Summary/Abstract: In time, a significant quantity of glass fragments (coming from containers, jewellery or raw glass)was found, during excavations in Sarmizegetusa Regia. This paper aims to publish glass containers: unguentariaand bottles. Most of the artefacts are imports coming from the Roman world, but a local production cannotbe overruled, especially taking into account the already known evidence of the activity of a workshop. Bothtypes of containers were used in Sarmizegetusa Regia, as they were elsewhere, for transporting and keepingcosmetics, pharmaceuticals and beverages. Some of these artefacts could have been used by the roman soldiersgarrisoned in Sarmizegetusa after the conquest but, some others certainly belonged to the pre-roman Dacianinhabitants, since they were found within structures (dwellings and workshops) dating back to the 1st c. A.D. andthe beginning of the next one.
