Summary/Abstract: Polish–Syrian excavations in Hawarte provided a large number of glass fragments coming from the mithraeum under the main basilica. The vessels represented include first and foremost tableware, but there is also a sizable group of unguentaria and oil lamps. The vessels were used alongside their ceramic counterparts in Mithraic banquets. They are dated from the 1st to the early 5th century AD , but some later lamps from the church were also found.
