- Abstract
In 2015 two exceptional Roman glass vessels came to light in a grave at Czarnówko in Pomerania. The site—a large Germanic cemetery of the late pre-Roman and the Roman periods—is situated in northern Poland, some 30 km from the Baltic Sea. The vessels, a goblet on a stemmed foot and a fish-shaped flask, are exceptional finds because of their high quality, rarity, and the fact that they are the first of their kind found in central and north European Barbaricum. The goblet belongs to the so-called “bird and flower” group, and its bird decoration finds its best parallels in Pannonia. The fish-shaped flask is probably the best-preserved vessel of its kind. Most likely it was manufactured in Germania Inferior, in Cologne (Roman Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium, CCAA) or its vicinity. The grave, with the burial of a girl or a young woman, can be dated to the last two decades of the second century CE or to the very beginning of the third century.
