his work presents two Roman vessels with grids found
in Vinkovci and Sisak. An attempt has been made to
ascertain their function. In the literature they are referred to as pots, censers, lamps, wine strainers and,
most often, milk cookers. Together with the vessels
with grids, small vessels with perforations on the bottom are also presented. heir function is unknown,
and they were discovered in Vinkovci.
U ovom radu predstavljene su dvije rimske posude s rešetkom pronađene u Vinkovcima i Sisku. Pokušalo se
ustanoviti koju su namjenu imale. U literaturi se nazivaju
loncima, kadionicama, svjetiljkama, cjediljkama za vino,
a najčešće kuhalima za mlijeko. Uz posude s rešetkom prikazuju se i male posude s perforacijom na dnu. Njihova
namjena je nepoznata, a otkrivene su u Vinkovcima.
Ključne riječi: Vinkovci, Cibalae, Sisak, Siscia, rimska keramika, posuda s rešetkom, posude s preforacijom na dnu,

U ovom radu predstavit ćemo dvije rimske posude
s rešetkom. Pokušat ćemo objasniti njihovu pojavu
i iznijeti prijedloge o mogućoj namjeni ovakvih neobičnih posuda.
Prilikom obrade rimskoga keramičkog materijala
s lokaliteta Vinkovci-Varteks u Gradskom muzeju
Vinkovci zapažena je posuda zanimljivog oblika (sl.

In this work two Roman vessels with grids will be
presented. An attempt will be made to explain them
and proposals will be put forward as to the possible
function of these unusual vessels.
During analysis of Roman pottery materials from
the Vinkovci-Varteks site in the Vinkovci Municipal Museum, a vessel with an interesting form was
observed (Fig. 3).1 It was reconstructed using ap1

Ivana OŽANIĆ DVIJE RIMSKE POSUDE S REŠETKOM
2004a: 14, 118, T 60: 19).2 Posuda je izrađena od crvenkaste gline i prevučena crvenim premazom. Ima
duguljasto, blago zaobljeno tijelo na koje je okomito
postavljen vrat. Prijelaz iz tijela u vrat naglašen je
dvjema kanelurama, a druge dvije nalaze se uz sam
rub posude. Oko 2,5 cm ispod ruba posude, s unutrašnje strane, sačuvan je dio ravne rešetke. Na temelju
usporedbe sa sličnim posudama možemo pretpostaviti da je imala šest rupa, a na sredini veći otvor
(Beherns 1952: 110–111). Visoka je 20 cm, promjer
ruba joj je 19 cm, a promjer dna 9 cm. Sačuvane
rupe na rešetki imaju prosječan promjer od 1,5 cm.
Slična, ali potpuno sačuvana posuda iz Siska čuva se
u Arheološkom muzeju u Zagrebu (Sl. 4). Posuda je
crno-smeđe boje s krupnijim primjesama kvarca i
pljeve. Tijelo posude je blago zaobljeno, a vrat je ukošen. Rešetka se nalazi 1 cm ispod ruba posude s unutrašnje strane i ukošena je. Na rešetki se nalazi osam
rupa kojima je promjer 0,8 cm. Visoka je 10 cm, promjer ruba ruba je 14,5 cm, promjer dna 12,5 cm, a promjer središnje rupe 5,5 cm (Ožanić 2004a: 118, sl. 11).3
Rimske posude s rešetkom nisu, međutim, bile rijetkost. Iz literature doznajemo da su se slične posude
izrađivale u keramičkim radionicama diljem carstva
– kako u onima u kojima se proizvodila terra sigillata tako i u radionicama koje su proizvodile keramiku za svakodnevnu upotrebu (Bersu 1930: T 32.1;
Beherns 1952: 110–111; Conspectus: 140; Atlante I:
50, T XXIII: 2, 3).
Zahvaljujući upravo ovim poznatim primjerima, i
vinkovačku i sisačku posudu s rešetkom možemo
smatrati proizvodom lokalnih panonskih radionica.
Obje posude možemo datirati u 2. stoljeće.
Veći problem predstavlja pitanje namjene ovakvih
posuda. Nazivalo ih se loncima, kadionicama, svjetiljkama, a najčešće kuhalima za mlijeko (Beherns
1952: 110; Nuber 1969–1970: 70–73; Clauss 2001:
128, sl. 64).
Najviše objavljenih posuda s rešetkom nalazimo
kod Gustava Behernsa koji ih naziva kuhalima za
mlijeko (Milchkocher) i okvirno datira od 1. do 2. st.
(Beherns 1952: 110) (Sl. 1). Beherns je sastavio popis od šesnaest posuda s različitih lokaliteta u Germaniji te dviju iz Britanije.4 Na temelju tog opširnog
2

Posuda se čuva u Gradskom muzeju Vinkovci GMV A – 1852.
Jedini podatak o mjestu nalaza ove posude nalazimo na signaturi nalijepljenoj na posudi koja glasi “Poklonio Tkalčić, iskopano
u Sisku”.
Uz sedam lokaliteta koji su navedeni uz crtež navodi još sljedeće
lokalitete: Neuss (crna posuda s nezavršenim rupama, loše pečena); Bingen (crna posuda); Strassburg (crveno-smeđa posuda);
Kastell Neuenheim; Frankfurt a. M; Köln, Aachener Strasse; Kastel Pfunz; Niederbieber; Burgheim. Lokaliteti s nalazima posuda s rešetkom u Britaniji su Litlington (bijela fina keramika tankih stjenki, rupicama je ispisano ime INDV[L]CIVS) i Silchester.
vci-Varteks site in 1982 (Iskra-Janošić 1995: 8; 2001:
68; Ožanić 2004a: 14, 118, T 60: 19).2 he vessel is
made of reddish clay and covered with a red paste. It
has a long, slightly rounded body with a verticallyset neck. he transition from the body to the neck
is highlighted with two cannelures, while the other
two are on the very rim of the vessel. Approximately
2.5 cm under the vessel’s rim, from the inside, a part
of the flat grid has been preserved. On the basis of
comparisons with similar vessels, we can assume
that it had six holes, and a larger opening in the
middle (Beherns 1952: 110–111). It is 20 cm high,
the diameter of its rim is 19 cm, while the diameter
of the bottom is 9 cm. he preserved holes on the
grid have an average diameter of 1.5 cm.
A similar, but completely preserved vessel from Sisak is held in the Archeological Museum in Zagreb
(Fig. 4). he vessel is black-brown in color, made of
material containing larger quantities of quartz and
chaff. he body of the vessel is slightly rounded,
while the neck is slanted. he grid is located 1 cm
below the vessel’s rim on the inside and it is slanted.
here are eight holes on the grid, each with a diameter of 0.8 cm. It is 10 cm high, the diameter of the
rim is 14.5 cm, the diameter of the bottom is 12.5
cm, and the diameter of the central hole is 5.5 cm
(Ožanić 2004a: 118, Fig. 11).3
Roman vessels with grids were not, however, rare.
he literature indicates that similar vessels were
made in ceramic workshops throughout the Empire—both in those where terra sigillata was produced and in workshops in which pottery for everyday use was made (Bersu 1930: T 32.1; Beherns
1952: 110–111; Conspectus: 140; Atlante I: 50, T
XXIII: 2, 3).
hanks precisely to these known examples, both the
Vinkovci and Sisak vessels with grids can be considered products of local Pannonian workshops. Both
vessels can be dated to the second century.
A greater problem is the question of their function.
hey have been called pots, censers, lamps and,
most often, milk cookers (Beherns 1952: 110; Nuber
1969–1970: 70–73; Clauss 2001: 128, Fig. 64).
Most of the published vessels with grids can be
found in the work of Gustav Beherns, who called
them milk cookers (Milchkocher) and generally
dated them to the first to second century – Fig. 1
(Beherns 1952: 110). Beherns compiled a list of sixteen vessels from various sites in Germania and two

is on the tag on it reading “Donated by Tkalčić, excavated in
Sisak”.
Ivana OŽANIĆ TWO ROMAN VESSELS WITH GRIDS
popisa zaključujemo da ove posude nisu rijetkost.
Glina koja je korištena za njihovu izradu različite je
kvalitete i može se reći da nema pravila. Rupe na
rešetki probijane su na razne načine i ponekad čine
vegetabilni ili geometrijski ukras. Posuda otkrivena
u Litlingtonu (Britanija) ima rupicama ispisano INDV[L]CIVS. Posuda na slici 1,3 ima sačuvan i pokretni umetak (Sl. 1, 3a) te nas upućuje na zaključak da
se većina ovih posuda mogla zatvoriti. Zanimljivo je
i to što je umetak ove posude također perforiran po
sredini (Beherns 1952: 110–111).
Popis koji je sastavio Beherns možemo proširiti još
nekim primjerima. U Magdalensbergu nađena je
posuda cilindričnog oblika koja također ima rešetku (Conspectus: 51.1.1). Datira se od augustovog
do flavijevskog vremena i pripada oblicima terrae
sigillatae etrurske ili padanske provinijencije (Conspectus: 140).
U oblicima rimske afričke keramike nalazi se nekoliko tipova posuda koje imaju rešetku (Atlante I: 50, T
XXIII: 2, 3). Riječ je o oblicima Hayes 124 i Lamboglia 16 bis. Visina posuda kreće se od 5,4 cm do 6,9
cm, a promjer im je od 8,6 cm do 9,6 cm. Oblik Hayes 124 uvjetno se datira od flavijevsko-trajanskog
doba. Neki primjeri nađeni su u slojevima iz druge
polovice 2. st. (Ostia). Oblik Lamboglia 16 bis datira
se u 2. st. Ovi oblici dokumentirani su u afričkoj sigilati A1, u istočnoj sigilati B te u lokalnoj produkciji
u Korintu (Atlante I: 50, T XXIII: 2, 3). Zbog oblika
uspoređuju se i s oblikom terrae sigillatae Ritterling
13 (Conspectus: 51.3.1) koji je služio kao tintarnica.
Kao proizvod afričke sigilate A1 javljaju se i tzv. gutusi od kojih neki također imaju rešetku (Atlante I:
51, T XXIII: 4, 5, 10).
Nasreću, jednoj posudi s rešetkom otkrivenoj na
lokalitetu Nida – Heddernheim definitivno je ustanovljena namjena. Služila je za procjeđivanje vina
(Nuber 1969–1970: 70–73). Naime dio rešetke
izrađen je kao natpis koji glasi: Audi me ude tamen
quem secu(n)dus bibes hic vasi defer (Sl. 2).5
Ako želimo posudu iz Heddernheima usporediti s
posudama iz Siska i Vinkovaca, moramo se osvrnuti
na sastojke koji su se dodavali u vino i procjeđivali.
Najpoznatije vino sa začinima je conditum paradoxum u koje se stavljaju med, papar, lovor, šafran te
meso, sjemenke datulja pa čak i ugljen. Conditum
paradoxum radio se tako da se prvo napravila manja količina ovako začinjenog vina, pustila se da
odstoji i kasnije se dodavala u veću posudu (Apicije: 1, 1; Ožanić 2004b: 37–38). Postoje razne vrste
metalnih i keramičkih cjediljki upotrebljavanih u

ćeš zatim piti i tada ponudi iz posude.
from Britannia.4 Based on this extensive list we can
conclude that these vessels are not rarities. he clay
used to make them has a different quality, so one
can say that there is no standard here. he holes on
the grid were made in various ways, and sometimes
they form vegetable or geometric decorations. he
vessel discovered in Litlington (Britannia) features
the name INDV[L]CIVS written with holes. he
vessel on Fig. 1.3 has a preserved and movable inserted piece (Fig. 1. 3a) and indicates the conclusion
that most of these vessels could have been closed.
It is interesting that inserted piece of this vessels
is also perforated down the middle (Beherns 1952:
110–111).
he list compiled by Beherns can be expanded with
several other examples. A cylindrically-formed vessel was found in Magdalensberg that also had a grid
(Conspectus: 51.1.1). It dates back to some point
during the Augustan to Flavian era and belongs to
the terrae sigillatae forms of Estruscan or Padanian
provenance (Conspectus: 140).
In Roman-era African pottery, there are several
types of vessels with grids (Atlante I: 50, T XXIII:
2, 3). hese are the Hayes 124 and Lamboglia 16 bis
forms. he height of the vessels runs from 5.4 cm
to 6.9 cm, while their diameter is 8.6 cm to 9.6 cm.
he Hayes 124 form conditionally dates to the Flavian/Trajanic era. Some examples have been found
in the layers from the second half of the second
century (Ostia). he Lamboglia 16 bis form dates to
the second century. hese forms have been documented in African sigillata A1, in the eastern sigillata B and in local production in Corinth (Atlante
I: 50, T XXIII: 2, 3). Due to the form, they have also
been compared to the terrae sigillatae Ritterling 13
form (Conspectus: 51.3.1) which served as an inkpot. he so-called gutus also appears as a product of
African stigillata A1, of which some also have a grid
(Atlante I: 51, T XXIII: 4, 5, 10).
Fortunately, the function of one vessel with grid
found at the Nida-Heddernheim site has been definitely ascertained. It served to strain wine (Nuber
1969–1970: 70–73). Part of the grid was crafted as
an inscription that reads: Audi me ude tamen quem
secu(n)dus bibes hic vasi defer (Fig. 2).5

Besides the seven sites cited with the drawing, the following sites
are also mentioned: Neuss (black vessel with incomplete holes,
poorly baked); Bingen (black vessel); Strassburg (red-brown
vessel); Kastell Neuenheim; Frankfurt a. M; Cologne, Aachener
Strasse; Kastel Pfunz; Niederbieber; Burgheim. Sites with finds
of vessels with grids in Britannia are Litlington (white fine ceramic with thin sides, holes spelling the name INDV[L]CIVS)
and Silchester.

If we wish to compare the vessel from Heddernheim
with the vessels from Sisak and Vinkovci, we have to
consider the ingredients that were placed in wine
and then strained. he best known spiced wine was
conditum paradoxum, in which honey, pepper, laurel leaf, saffron and meat, date seeds and even coal
were added. Conditum paradoxum was made such
that first a smaller quantity of wine so spiced was
prepared and allowed to sit and then later added to
182
Ivana OŽANIĆ TWO ROMAN VESSELS WITH GRIDS
količina condituma paradoxuma odstajala bi u takvoj posudi i ulila se u veću količinu vina prilikom
posluživanja. U ovoj se posudi moglo izmiješati i
vino s vodom ili snijegom, što je bilo popularno kod
Rimljana (Ožanić 2004b: 36). Na lokalitetu Neuss,
u keramičarskom radioničkom centru, otkriven je
ulomak vrča (Haltern tip 54, Bruckner tip 6) datiran
u 1. st. koji je imao rešetku na izljevu, a služio je za
posluživanje vina sa začinima (Bruckner 1975: 86,
T 39: 21–22).
Potaknuti pokretnim umetkom na slici 1,3a osvrnut
ćemo se na još jedan tip perforiranih posuda koje su
nađene u Vinkovcima (Ožanić 2004a: T 88: 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8) (Sl. 5). Riječ je o sedam primjeraka malih
zdjelica nađenih na lokalitetu Vinkovci-Komercijalna banka koji je istraživan 1973. godine, a nalazi se
uz lokalitet Vinkovci-Varteks (Ožanić 2004a: 16). To
su posude poluloptastog ili blago bikoničnog oblika
visine od 2,5 cm do 4,8 cm. Specifičnost koju zapažamo na čitavim primjercima perforacija je na dnu
posuda. Sličan oblik posuda malih dimenzija, bez
perforacije na dnu, dokumentiran je u Singidnumu
(Nikolić-Đorđević 2000: 181–182). S. Nikolić-Đorđević smatra da su te posude mogle biti dječje igračke ili su služile za začine i namirnice konzumirane
u manjim količinama. Datira ih od 2. do 3. st. Kalup
za zdjelice od keramike tankih stijenki iz Sirmija također ima perforaciju na dnu posude. Pretpostavlja
se da su takve perforacije služile za lakše postavljanje kalupa na lončarsko kolo (Brukner 1981: 75, T
46: 8). Zbog malih dimenzija male posude s rupom
na dnu ne smatramo kalupom, a upravo zbog perforacije odbacujemo pretpostavku da su bile igračke
ili posude za začine. U inventarnoj knjizi Gradskog
muzeja Vinkovci ove su posude inventirane kao
zatvarači. Bilo bi pretenciozno smatrati da su ove
posudice služile za zatvaranje posuda s rešetkom,
no po svemu sudeći mogle su biti korišene uz neke
druge posude. Perforacija je mogla služiti za kontroliranje količine tekućine koja se ulijeva u posudu.
U ovom trenutku pitanje upotrebe ovih malih zdjelica moramo ostaviti otvorenim.
Glavni cilj ovoga rada bio je skrenuti pažnju na posude s rešetkom i postaviti pitanje njihove namjene.
Samo jedna takva posuda, i to ona iz Heddernheima, ima natpis koji nam eksplicitno govori da je služila za posluživanje vina. Behernsovo mišljenje da
su ove posude služile kao kuhala za mlijeko ne čini
nam se uvjerljivim, premda se ne može isključiti ni
ta mogućnost.
Razmatrajući namjenu spomenutih posuda moramo istaknuti da posuda s rešetkom iz Vinkovaca
ima važan detalj. Naime u unutrašnjosti nailazimo
na tragove gorenja. Već smo spomenuli da su se ponekad ovakve posude smatrale kadionicama (Clauss
a larger vessel (Apicije: 1, 1; Ožanić 2004b: 37–38).
here are various types of metal and ceramic grids
used in Classical Antiquity that can serve to strain
wine. It can be assumed that most of the vessels
mentioned by Beherns served this purpose. hus,
a smaller quantity of conditum paradoxum would
remain in such a vessel and then be poured into a
larger quantity of wine prior to serving. Wine in this
vessel could be mixed with water or snow, which
was popular with the Romans (Ožanić 2004b: 36).
At the Neuss site, the fragment of a pitcher (Haltern
type 54, Bruckner type 6) was discovered in the ceramic workshop center and dated to the first century. It had a grid at the pouring rim, and it was
used to serve spiced wine (Bruckner 1975: 86, T 39:
21–22).
Prompted by the movable insert on Fig. 1.3a, one
other type of perforated vessel found in Vinkovci
will be examined – Fig. 5 (Ožanić 2004a: T 88: 2, 3,
4, 5, 6, 7, 8). hese are seven examples of small bowls
found at the Vinkovci-Komercijalna banka site that
was researched in 1973, and which is located next to
the Vinkovci-Varteks site (Ožanić 2004a: 16). hese
semi-spherical or slightly biconical bowls are 2.5 cm
to 4.8 cm high. he specific aspect that is notable on
the whole examples is the perforation on the bottoms of the bowls. A similar vessel form of smaller
dimensions, without the bottom perforation, was
documented in Singidnum (Nikolić-Đorđević 2000:
181–182). S. Nikolić-Đorđević believes that these
vessels could have been children’s toys or containers for spices or food consumed in smaller quantities. hey have been dated to the second to third
centuries. he mold for bowls with thin ceramic
sides from Syrmium also has perforations on the
bottom. It has been assumed that such perforations
served to make it easier to place the mold on the
pottery wheel (Brukner 1981: 75, T 46: 8). Due to its
small dimensions, the small vessel with the hole in
the bottom is not considered a mold, and precisely
due to the perforations the assumption that they
were toys or spice containers has been rejected. he
Vinkovci Municipal Museum’s inventory register
lists these vessels as lids. It would be pretentious to
believe that these small vessels were used to close
vessels with grids, but by all indications they were
used with some other vessels. he perforations
could have served to control the quantity of liquid
poured into the vessel. At this moment the use of
these small bowls must remain an open question.
he principal objective of this paper is to turn attention to the vessels with grids and pose the question
of their function. Only one such vessel, the one from
Heddernheim, bears an inscription that explicitly
states that it was used to serve wine. Beherns’ view

Ivana OŽANIĆ TWO ROMAN VESSELS WITH GRIDS
2001: 128, sl. 64). Stoga zbog tragova gorenja ovu
vinkovačku posudu možemo smatrati kadionicom
(Clauss 2001: 128, sl. 64).
Sisačka posuda više nalikuje posudama otkrivenim u
Germaniji (Beherns 1952: 110–111). Nema vidljivih
tragova gorenja kao kod vinkovačke posude, niža je
od vinkovačke, a i rupe na rešetki su manje. Stoga
moramo konstatirati da je zasad nejasno u koje se
svrhe upotrebljavala sisačka posuda s rešetkom.
that these vessels were used to cook milk is not
convincing, although this possibility cannot be excluded.
In considering the function of these vessels, it must
be stressed that the vessel with grid from Vinkovci
bears an important detail: there are traces of burning on the inside. It has already been noted that these
vessels were sometimes considered censers (Clauss
2001: 128, Fig. 64). herefore, due to the traces of
burning, this Vinkovci vessel can be considered a
censer (Clauss 2001: 128, Fig. 64).
he Sisak vessel bears greater similarity to the vessels discovered in Germania (Beherns 1952: 110–
111). here are no visible traces of burning as with
the Vinkovci vessel, it is lower than its Vinkovci
counterpart, and the holes on the grid are smaller.
herefore, the purpose of the Sisak vessel with grid
is still unclear for now.
