Gold Finger-ring in the Form of an Oil Lamp Unearthed at Viminacium's Hypogeum
Апстракт
During 2009, in the area to the east of the legionary fort and the city of Viminacium (Nad Klepečkom site), severely damaged late Roman monumental tomb (hypogeum) was discovered as a result of the Drmno coal strip-mine. Within the preserved section of the tomb, an exceptional gold finger-ring with a head shaped as an oil-lamp with two nozzles was found. Determining the date of the Viminacium finger-ring has posed several challenges due to factors such as the site’s location and the conditions of the find, the limited number of other small finds, and the lack of analogies. The Viminacium gold finger-ring reflects an explicit Hellenistic influence, and it represents an import from one of the centres of the eastern Mediterranean. Based on architectural elements of the analogous tombs from Viminacium, its chronology is assumed to be within the 4th century, while the earliest dating of the gold finger-ring could be slightly earlier, from the 3rd century AD.
