Abstract: Archaeological research has identified, starting in 1965, a large ceramic production district in the northern part of the Romanian city of Romula. Most clay material burning furnaces were used for firing vessels. Face can be discovered in 2018, in the pit of potter's kiln no. 25, is an almost whole vessel. The vessel indicates a male character, with a tap-shaped chin, with bushy eyebrows and an elongated nose. The decoration was made by adding material, by impresion and by incising. The vessel was intended for funerary practices, an argument in this sense being the fact that the character had closed eyes, but also specialized literature. This vessel has its origin in vessels of this type from Italy, which were adapted in the Danube provinces.
