GEBURTSTAG SOME NOTES ABOUT A LA TÈNE PERIOD GLASS BRACELETS FROM DROBETA Ana Cristina Hamat* Keywords: pre-Roman Dacia, Celts, jewellery, glass bracelet, 3rd–2nd centuries BC Cuvinte cheie: Dacia preromană, celți, bijuterii, brățară de sticlă, sec. III- II î. Chr. On the occasion of a work visit at the Museum of the Iron Gates Region of Drobeta – Turnu Severin, we noticed on display in a temporary exhibition several glass bracelet fragments, most dated to the Roman age. Among these, the glass fragment with the inventory number II. 7545 constitutes the subject of the present note. he artefact caught our eye because, even though we identiied it at a irst glance as having a Celtic origin, it had not been published before. he examination of the inventory register revealed that this piece of jewellery was part of the old collection of the Museum. It was catalogued in the year 1962 and was erroneously attributed to the Roman period. he mistake is understandable considering that at the moment when it entered the registry the study of glass bracelets discovered on the territory of Romania was only in its infancy. he irst La Tène glass bracelets were published with a context only in 19671. On the other hand, in the column with the ind spot, the register mentions Drobeta, so it was automatically ascribed to the Roman age without further inquiry. his makes us think that it was probably discovered in a context which appeared undoubtedly Roman to the authors of the archaeological research at that time. herefore, with our short note we wish to bring into discussion this unpublished jewellery fragment, along with a new typological and chronological classiication based on analogies traced throughout Europe. 1. State of research. he La Tène glass bracelets attributed to the Celts and discovered on the territory of Romania constituted the subject of individualised research only in recent years, in articles like the one published by J. Németi in 20002, or that by L. Vaida in 20063. Previously, such items were merely described together with the rest of the inventory * 1 2 3 he Museum of Mountain Banat, Reșița, Bvd.

In the case of Banat and Oltenia, although funerary or habitation contexts attributed to these populations were published5, there were no glass bracelets among the discoveries. hus, the present fragment is the only Celtic jewellery of this kind recovered from the territory of Oltenia. 2. Discovery context Unfortunately, as mentioned above, the only record of its discovery context is ‘Drobeta’ and we know it entered the inventory register on February 15th, 1962. However, there are some clues that can provide further information on the place of discovery. First of all, regarding the exact location, we can suspect that it was found on the territory of the modern city, probably on the occasion of the research carried out in the fort or in its immediate vicinity. A irst indication of this is the fact that until 1972 the name of the modern city was just ‘Turnu Severin’, and so the name ‘Drobeta’ must have referred to the area of the fort and its civilian settlement, whose location on the ield was already largely known since the 18th century6. his discovery marks another point with Celtic inds from Oltenia; the area around Drobeta was actually known in the specialised literature for the discoveries attributed to this population. hus, the bibliography mentions that archaeological excavations had been carried out between 1961 and 1970 at the Roman fort, also at the Şimian Holm and at Schela Cladovei7 and that all of this places yielded Celtic material, both in habitation and in funerary contexts. hese mainly consisted of pottery, weapons, an iron snale bit, various metal objects, as well as a monetary hoard8. he inds were assigned by M. Davidescu primarily to the Scordiscan Celts9, a population which settled in the Balkan area at the conluence of the Sava river with the Danube around the time of the invasion and defeat sufered by the Celtic tribes at Delphi10. he area under their control stretched along the Danube and temporarily also included parts of present-day Romanian territory11. From a historical point of view, the Minor Scordiscans are attested by Strabon in the area adjacent to the Danube, east of the Morava12, so the territory between this river and the Iron Gates was briely controlled by them13, a fact also archaeologically conirmed by the presence of Scordiscan material both on the territory of Oltenia, and that of Banat14. To the spots with Celtic inds mentioned above one should also add the tomb from Corbului Zirra 1967, 69; Crișan 1973, 75; Lazăr 1975, 72; Crișan 1975, 47; Zirra 1980, 65–69; Németi 1988; Németi 1989; Németi 1992; Németi 2000, 168–169. 5 Sîrbu, Rustoiu, Crăciunescu 1999; Rustoiu, Ursuțiu 2013. 6 Benea 1977, 133. 7 Boroneanț, Davidescu 1968, 253–260; Davidescu 1980, 50–51; Stîngă 1998, 13. 8 Davidescu 1980, 50–51; Stîngă 1998, 13. 9 Davidescu 1980, 50–51. 10 Rustoiu 2015, 20. 11 Rustoiu, Ursuțiu 2013, 323; Rustoiu 2004–2005, 59–60. 12 Strabon, Geograia, VII, 5, 12. 13 Rustoiu 2004–2005, 59. 14 Sîrbu, Rustoiu, Crăciunescu 1999, 221. 4 75 Holm, dated to Lt. B2b, located on an island of the Danube which was also part of their territory15. South of the Danube and in the area nearing Drobeta, isolated discoveries attributed to the Minor Scordiscans and dated to Lt. C1 were made at Boljetin, Pecka Bara and Negotin16. For an overview of the chronological and territorial situation of the Celtic inds from the immediate vicinity of the city one must also mention the funerary contexts at Corcova, discovered in 1975, and at Gruia, in 196917, as well as the most recent at Florești, dated towards the end of the Celtic horizon, between the end of the 2nd and the middle of the 1st centuries BC. he last was attributed to the Padea- Panagjiurski Kolonii group, a warrior elite from the south which concluded the Celtic domination in the area18. Consequently, Celtic discoveries from around Drobeta fall into the general picture of the consequences of the Celtic expansion towards the east and the invasion from 280–277, as well into the circumstance created by the arrival of the Padea Panagjurski Kolonii group19. Against this general background, the presence of La Tène population somewhere in the territory of the modern city of Drobeta–Turnu Severin is once more pointed out by the existence of the bracelet fragment discovered here. Regarding the exact ind spot, we believe that the fragment was almost certainly discovered during the research of the Roman fort, thus explaining why its origin was registered as ‘Drobeta’. It was probably one of the materials displaced by the building of the fort in antiquity. It might have originally come from a funerary context, considering that such bracelets predominantly appear as items of the funerary inventory of female graves20. We cannot rule out its provenance from a habitation context either, bearing in mind the fact that in the rest of Europe glass bracelets were mainly discovered in habitation contexts. However, since all of the inds from our area come from graves, we believe that the piece from Drobeta also originates from a funerary context. 3. Description he bracelet fragment has a total length of 7.9 cm and is manufactured from blue translucent glass with appliques of white opaque glass paste21. It has a D-shaped section with two central ribs lanked by another two smaller ones. At the base it is 1.2 cm wide and the maximum height of the moulding reaches 0.4 cm. he bracelet was manufactured in the hot glass technique, modelled on a rotating core with the help of an iron rod22. In what concerns the type, such bracelets are rather widespread in the Zirra 1971, 223; Rustoiu 2004–2005, 56, 60. Rustoiu 2004–2005, 60. 17 Sîrbu, Rustoiu, Crăciunescu 1999, 217–229. 18 Rustoiu 2015, 27–28. 19 Rustoiu 2004–2005, 53. 20 Rustoiu 2004–2005, 56. 21 Generally, opaque glass is used for the decoration, not for the body of the bracelet, and usually comes in two colours, white and yellow (Karwowski 2004, 59). 22 Karwowski 2012, 250, Fig. 7. 15 16 76 Celtic world, with analogies known from Austria, at Seebarn, where they are dated to Lt. C223, from Poland, at Pleszow, with the same date24, as well as from France, at La Lande du Rameau and Le Petit Mont Arzon, where they are dated to Lt. C2 – Lt. D125. Furthermore, a close analogy for our piece was also found in Slovakia, at Žehra, dated to Lt. C1 – Lt. C226. Our fragment is deformed due to a secondary burning, and part of the zig-zag appliques are no longer preserved. he blue colour, oten called cobalt blue, is typical for La Tène period bracelets, while the glass is predominantly translucent, without visible impurities, and comes in diferent shades27. he presence of zig-zag decorations made from yellow or white opaque glass paste on cobalt blue-coloured bracelets is typical for the Lt. C1b period28. 4. Typological and chronological classiication To date, works of reference for the typological classiication of Celtic glass bracelets remain the typology published in 1960 by h. E. Haevernick29, the one by R. Gebhard in 1989 concerning Manching30, followed by the more recent typologies published by M. Karwowski for Poland in 199731 and that for the territory of Austria published in 200432, as well K. Tanko’s typology for eastern Hungary33, and the one published by a collective of authors in 2011 with respect to Bretagne34. For the Romanian territory, a typology of Celtic bracelets was devised by I. Németi in the articles referring to the necropolis at Pișcolt35. In the year 2000, the same author published a typology of the glass bracelets discovered in north-western Romania36 and in 2006 L. Vaida devised another typology according to which the glass bracelets are assigned to type 2037. Based on the analogies, our fragment can be classiied as h. E. Havernick’s type 38 7c . Also, at Manching they were dated to Lt. C1b, during the last quarter of the 3rd and the beginning of the 2nd centuries BC according to R. Gebhard39, a date also supported 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 Karwowski 2004, 176, cat. nr. 284. Karwowski 1997, 37. Dinard, Gratuze, Cherel 2011, 158. Březinová 2017, 49, 51.

Karwowski for Central Europe, based on the number and shape of the mouldings, our piece corresponds to type 7c and is ascribed to period Lt. C241; the colour, shape, as well as the type of zig-zag decoration are likewise typical for this period42. Referring to Bretagne, it corresponds to type XII which has the same date43. If we consider Poland, it can be classiied as type 7c and dated to Lt. C244. In Romania, in the area of Transylvania, glass bracelets were generally dated starting with the third Celtic horizon Lt. B2b, being more frequent during the fourth horizon corresponding to Lt. C145. 5. Conclusions Glass bracelets are among the representative jewellery discovered in the area pertaining to the Celtic culture, alongside beads and rings46. hey were found both in La Tène age graves and settlements, especially from the Lt. C and Lt. D periods. he largest collections of such inds originate from Manching and Berching–Pollanten in Bavaria47. Together with the beads manufactured from the same material, they are typical for the female dress and are consequently found in women’s graves48. On the territory of Romania, this type of accessories attributed to the Celtic culture were found at Delureni-Şopteriu49, Fântânele-Livadă50, as well as in the area of Carei, at Ciumești, Pișcolt, Hotoan, Cămin-Malul Crasnei, Berea, Căpleni, la Medieșu-Aurit, AțelBratei51, and at Orosfaia52. he most well-known discoveries remain those at Delureni, Fântânele- Livadă and Pișcolt. he fragment kept in the collection of the Museum of the Iron Gates Region is thus part of a series of inds of this type of dress accessories discovered on the territory of modern Romania. Also, the fact that the bracelet fragment comes from somewhere on the territory of the Roman fort or city is reasonable keeping in mind that several discoveries attributed to the Minor Scordiscans were made in the environs of the town, both in habitation and in funerary contexts, namely at Şimian, Schela Cladovei or Corbului Holm. he dating of this fragment is assigned to the Lt C1b – Lt. C2 periods, on the basis of its typology, colour, decoration mode, and especially on the number of mouldings; this means the irst half of the 2nd century 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 Tankó 2006, 254.

Ea face parte din colecția veche a muzeului și nu a fost publicată până în prezent. Noi am identiicat acest fragment ca aparținând unei brățări celtice, cu analogii în descoperiri de pe teritoriul Europei Centrale și de vest și credem că se poate data pe baza acestor analogii în LT C2. Fragmentul este deformat de foc și, prin urmare, presupunem că poate proveni dintr-un mormânt celtic distrus în antichitate de construcția castrului roman de la Drobeta. Încadrarea cronologică a brățării completează descoperirile mai vechi de tradiție La Tène făcute în zona Drobetei romane și în imediata ei apropiere. 82 Pl. 1.
