Roman stone and clay shot from Viminacium amphitheatre

Abstract

The study of Roman military equipment from Viminacium is important to an understanding of the constitution of the Roman army and the life of soldiers and civilians not only in this camp and city, but also at other sites along the Danube limes in Moesia Superior. In this paper, stone and clay shot found during recent excavations of the Viminacium amphitheatre will be presented. Based on the size, shape and exact location, I will discuss the function of missiles and their connection to the amphitheatre.
