Prismatic bottles from the auxiliary fort and vicus of Intercisa

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This paper presents the glass prismatic bottles and fragments brought to light in the Roman settlement of Intercisa (today Dunaújváros, Hungary). Bottles occur in a low number among the finds of the vicus and the castellum of Intercisa. Bottles and containers account for around 15% of all vessel fragments, while prismatic bottles have a lower share, around 4%. Almost all identifiable fragments are square bottles, with a single rectangular one amongst them. Their designs vary; most feature geometric motifs, while plant motifs and inscriptions are less frequent. Most fragments presented below are yet unpublished.
