Summary/Abstract: The Franciscan monastery of Tolisa, in the Bosanska Posavina (Bosnian Savavalley region), houses a fine collection of Roman military equipment and defensive weapons, collected over the years or acquired as chance finds. These artefacts include arrows, spears, lead projectiles, plumbatae, appliqués, buttons, buckles, horse harness, strainers and bowls. Most of them are on display in the museum’s permanent exhibition. Having been acquired somewhat haphazardly, they have not yet been the subject of serious expert analysis in published works.
