Rimska čaša s podpisom mojstra Enniona – prva najdba, odkrita v Sloveniji | Roman beaker signed by Ennion – the first find discovered in Slovenia

Abstract

Glass vessels constitute a source of inscriptions of various types and groups. The names of artisans or workshop owners, for example, are known from mould-blown vessels and even more so from the base marks on free-blown vessels that appear in great numbers. They allow us to gain important information on the local workshops and the distribution of their products, on the names of the glass-blowers and their social or national origin. The article presents the first find of a mould-blown beaker signed by Ennion from Slovenia (Romula, Pannonia). On the one-handled beaker is preserved an inscription in a square frame in Greek. The find can be compared with similar finds from Italy and the latest finds discovered in Dalmatia in Croatia.
