Dear Professor
Dear Readers
P
rofessor Sarnowski’s interests are focused primarily on the Roman army and the archaeology of the Roman borderlands, especially the
defence systems near the lower Danube and the
Roman army presence in southern Crimea. he
idea behind this volume was to bring together
texts on various topics of interest for the Jubilant,
writen by his friends and colleagues — all academics equally fascinated by such subject mater,
as well as by his alumni and current students, as
a means to celebrate and honour this birthday
anniversary.
his scientiic interest resulted in broad contacts among various scholars from Eastern and
Western Europe. Our intention was to arrange
this book in such a way that it would express this
diversity, but also create a forum for a meeting
between the East and the West in a literal sense:
the bibliography, provided both in Cyrillic and
transliterated, is a nod to the readers, who — we
hope — will ind this useful.
It was not possible to invite all those who
would like to express their esteem and gratitude
to Professor Sarnowski. We were overwhelmed
by the amount of papers sent to us and this in
itself shows how much we all owe to Him. While
we apologize to those who were not invited, at
the same time we would like share the hope that
the next anniversary will be honoured with yet
another such book.
We would like to thank all those who participated in preparing the book and the Jubilee.
We would like to express our gratitude to the
Directors of the Institute of Archaeology, who
supported the Editors and organized the Jubilee. We should also thank Konrad Uhma, who
arranged Tabula Gratulatoria website, as well as
those who helped to prepare the Jubilee celebration: Emil Jęczmienowski, Michał Pisz, Tomasz
Dziurdzik, Anna Mech, and Piotr Zakrzewski.
Special thanks from the main editor should go to
Miłosława Stępień and Tomasz Dziurdzik, who
did a large part of the translations and editorial
work, but also to Tomasz Derda, for his advice in
typeseting and editorial consultancy, as well as
Tomasz Płóciennik and Adam Łajtar who made
valuable suggestions. A great part of the texts
were also translated or proofed by Martin Lemke,
Mariya Avramova, Lyudmila Kovalevskaja, and
Tabea Meurer. A great efort was made by Piotr
Berezowski who prepared the typeseting of the
text and the graphic design. However, most of all,
we would like to thank the Authors for their participation and patience.
his book also contains a very special text
by the late Professor Jerzy Kolendo dedicated to
Tadeusz Sarnowski (Tadeusz Sarnowski. Quatuordecim lustra optime peracta). It was dictated very
shortly before his death, as a special contribution
and expression of his admiration and respect for
the Jubilant’s academic achievements.
We hope that this volume will constitute a git
which will not receive negative reviews from You,
Dear Jubilant, but rather will serve as an expression of our gratitude and afection.

2–4). he facts that no such brooches appeared
at the sites on the Rhine limes which perished in
260 AD, and that the earliest inds originate from
the Danube-Balkan area, suggest that the inds of
brooches of Keller’s / Prötel’s Type 1 at the Balkan sites date shortly before AD 260 (Genčeva
2004: 62; Kostromičev 2012: 94). herefore, the
ind addressed in this paper probably belonged
to a Roman oicer who served in Chersonesos
around AD 250–280.
he brooch has already been discussed as part
of the corpus of Roman brooches from Chersonesos (Kostromičev 2012: 87–89, tab. 8.77)
and in a study of the Roman military presence in
this city (Kostromičev 2011: 77, ig. 33.4). he
inscription on the brooch is well-preserved, but
no reading of it has been proposed in the previous
publications. his text is easy to decipher since
all the leters remain intact, apart from the irst
and second leter in the name which are slightly
damaged. he inscription features the niello technique combining engraved leters with notches
illed with blackened silver. On the front side of
the brooch bow, the dedication — SABADIO is
visible, while on the back side we read VOTVM.
he reconstruction could be Sabadio votum, that
is a votive ofering to Sabazius.

Inscriptions on Roman brooches made during the manufacturing process are fairly common. here are well-known examples of Latin
inscriptions on the Aucissa type brooches from
the turn of the millennia and in the irst half of
the 1st century AD (Behrens 1950: 6f, Abb. 11,
Abb. 12). he tradition of adding inscriptions to
the details of Roman military equipment became
widespread in the 3rd century AD. here are soldier belt itings in the form of leters. Among the
inscriptions on such belts, one may encounter the
Greek ΜΝΗΜΩΝ, that is “remember” (Hoss
2006: 237, Abb. 1). he most popular phrase was,
however, the Latin VTERE FELIX (Bullinger
1972; Kleiser 2000-2001; Hoss 2006: Abb. 3, 4;
Redžić 2008), translatable as “carry with good
fortune” or “use with luck” and appearing not
only on belts, but also on rings, bracelets, earrings,
spoons, drinking vessels, or lamps (see the list of
such inds in Hoss 2006: 237, Anm. 4). his is the
most common inscription on the brooches from
a brooch from tauric chersonesos with a dedication to sabazius

bow, originating from the sites in the Danube area, case is a combination of good luck wishes with
the Balkans, and Italy (Fig. 2.4) (Behrens 1950: names, such as Demati(us), Dulcitius, Quartinus,
11). Another example is a brooch from Bátaszék Septimius (Fig. 2.3). Perhaps jewellers engraved

Emperors’ names combined with wishes of
good health and victory appeared later, on expensive Type 1 and 2 brooches from the age of the
Tetrarchy (Fig. 2.6, 7) (Noll 1974; Prötel 1988:
350–354).
A review of such inscriptions demonstrates
that the votive ofering to Sabazius inscribed
on the Chersonese brooch is unique. he only
parallel is perhaps a well-known silver brooch
from Mainz, with its bow showing DEOMAR /
VTFELIX (Fig. 2.5). Behrens has proposed two
variants of reading this inscription. he irst suggestion is Deo Marti utere felix (“To God Mars; use
with luck”), which the researcher considered less
probable, as the two parts of the inscription are not
compatible. herefore, he has proposed another
reading, with the name Deomartus or Deomartius, according to parallels among potery stamps
(Behrens 1919: 14, Textab 5.1). he example of
the Chersonese brooch with a votive ofering to
Sabazius supports the possible interpretation of
the inscription on the Mainz brooch as a dedication to Mars. he combination of a dedication
with good luck wishes is quite possible.
From the suggested reading of the inscription on the Chersonese brooch, there is reason
to associate this object with the worship of the
God Sabazius. he unusual form of spelling the
God’s name deserves atention. A similar form
— Sebadius — appears in Alexander Polyhistor
and Arnobiuse (CCIS II, p. 49). he form “Sabadius,” an exact matching to the inscription on the
brooch, is in Apuleius’ Metamorphoses (CCIS II,
p. 48) and in Origen’s Contra Celsum as Σαβαδίων
(CCIS II, p. 48). More analogies exist in Latin
epigraphy. M. Servilius Verecundus’ dedication
of the altar found in Pavlikeni reads Iovi Sabadio
et Mercurio (CCIS II, p. 7, no. 15), and that of M.
Ennius Celerinus on the altar found in Višovgrad
is to Sabazius (i.e. Iuppiter Sabadius) and Mercury
(CCIS II, p. 7, no. 18). Both altars originate from
the vicinity of Nicopolis ad Istrum. his variant
of the God’s name also appears on an altar with
the dedication I. O. M. Deo Sabadio from Rome
(CCIS II, pp. 28–29, no. 57). his altar was erected
394
on 2nd August 241 by the equites singulares Augusti,
who previously served in the ala I Dardanorum.
A part of the Lower Moesian army, this ala garrisoned Arrubium (Măcin) in the Dobrogean part
of Lower Moesia (Matei-Popescu 2010: 170).
Eugene Lane points out that ‘d’ as the third consonant in the name of Sabazius is a hraco-Moesian feature (CCIS III, p. 38). hus, all epigraphic
artefacts with the form Sabadius would indicate
that they originate from Lower Moesia. he concentration of such inscriptions in the vicinity of
Nicopolis ad Istrum is reason to suppose that the
Chersonesos brooch was made there. Another
argument is that the Lower Moesian troops were
garrisoned in Chersonese (Kadeev 1981: 27; Sarnowski 1988: 143), so an oicer of hracian origin
could have brought this brooch with him.
What is the signiicance of the Chersonese
ind for the study of Sabazius’ cult? his God
became extremely popular in the Roman Imperial Period, though particulars of his cult remain
unclear thus far. Some ancient writers state that
the cult came from hrace, while others indicate Phrygia. Atanas Milčev’s and Eugene Lane’s
studies present reliable analyses of the accounts
in ancient sources concerning the origin of the
Sabazius cult (Milčev 1977: 58; CCIS III, pp.
1–10). he artefact discussed herein dates to the
Roman Period, when the shaping of the syncretistic cult of Sabazius was completed ater a long
transformation period. Beginning in hrace in
the 4th century BC, this process ended before the
1st century AD with the formation of the cult of
hracian Sabazius. his dualistic cult combined
chthonic and solar features (Tačeva-Hitova 1982:
289; Popova 2009: 168, 169). In the inal period of
the Sabazius cult, his numerous images appeared
with distinctive atributes and traits indicating his
association with Jupiter, Hermes, Apollo, Mithras, Atis, the Dioscuri, Hercules, Mars, Silvanus
(CCIS III, pp. 11–22; Popova 2009: 168f.).
Despite the information available in various
writen sources claiming that the ith-century-BC
Greeks considered Sabazius to be a Phrygian
counterpart of Dionysus, Lane rejects particu-
a brooch from tauric chersonesos with a dedication to sabazius
lar connections between these deities, because
Sabazius’ representations do not contain Dionysian atributes (CCIS III, pp. 13–15). In Lev Elnickij’s opinion, both Dionysus and Sabazius were
related to a deity known as the hracian horseman or hracian Heros. As an element indicating
the connection between the cults of Sabazius and
Heros may serve the image of serpents winding
around trees and altars presented on both types
of reliefs. Another link between the two cults is
the popular representation of a hracian horseman with his right hand raised in a gesture of
blessing, benedictio Latina (“Latin benediction”)
(El’nickij 1946: 104), with the litle inger and
index inger touching the palm, while the others
remain extended, and the palm is turned toward
the viewer. here is a great amount of such artefacts (Kazarov 1938: nos. 9, 111, 170, 171, 215, 232,
233, 241, 313, 457, 458, 477, 502), including one relief
from Chersonesos (Ščeglov 1969: 140, ig. 1.4).
he archaeological inds related to the cult
of Sabazius are numerous but relatively uniform.
hey primarily consist of metal and bone images
of human palms showing the gesture of benediction (CCIS I, nos. 1–18, 25–33, 38, 40–42, 44–79,
81, 82, 84–86, 88–96). Statues and reliefs depicting
Sabazius are rare (CCIS I, nos. 19–24, 36, 39, 43,
80, 83, 87; CCIS II, pp. 77–88). A common feature
to both types of artefacts — human palms and
reliefs — would be the images of various objects
covering their surface. he mysterious nature of
Sabazius’ cult resulted in a lack of information
about its rituals in writen sources. His atributes
on reliefs and votive palms are the only reliable
indicator of Sabazius’ ritualism. hese items are
interpreted as the link between Sabazius’ cult and
the worship of other gods. Although this connection probably alludes to the idea behind this cult,
the idea itself remains obscure thus far (CCIS
III, pp. 23–37). he role of the reliefs and votive
palms has been addressed by many researchers, but the only probable conclusion is that they
were “objects-mediators” used “in the festivities
dedicated to the god, by the initiated participants”
(Popova 2009: 173f.).
he brooch as a votive ofering to Sabazius is
a new unique ind, expanding the range of types
of objects related to this god. A possible parallel
to this ind as a speciic kind of ofering is a bronze
statuete of a boar from the British Museum with
the following engraved inscription: Μυρτίνη θεῷ
Σαβαζίῳ (CCIS II, p. 36, no. 76).
What was the probable meaning of the
inscribed brooch? A brooch is an accessory used
as a garment fastener. herefore, the Chersonese brooch could not have been a votive ofering to Sabazius by itself. In this particular case, the
brooch was used to fasten a heavy military cloak
(sagum). As numerous inscriptions and inds of
votive palms in military contexts provide information about the popularity of Sabazius among
Roman soldiers (CCIC III, p. 44), such a dedication on a soldier’s brooch should not be surprising.
A bronze plate from Ampurias in Spain indicates the role of speciic clothes in Sabazius’ cult
(CCIS II, pp. 40–41, no. 85). It shows Sabazius
wearing a tunic with long sleeves and pants (braccae), covered throughout with stars symbolizing
the irmament (El’nickij 1946: 98) and indicating Sabazius’ supremacy in hracian religion as
kosmokrator (Tačeva-Hitova 1982: 292). he
brooch in question possibly fastened a special
cloak related to the worship of Sabazius.
Other items of atire connected with the cult
include pins with heads in the form of Sabazius’
palm. Lane supposes that certain priests wore
such pins (CCIS III, p. 44). he relatively large
number of such inds of pins (Bartus 2012: 206)
may indicate that ordinary adherents of the cult
were also among their owners.
he dating of the Chersonese brooch, the
250s–280s AD, makes it one of the latest pieces
of evidence of Sabazius’ veneration. he latest
inscription mentioning this god and possessing
an exact date is from 241 AD (CCIS II, no. 57).
his is the aforementioned altar erected in Rome
by Lower Moesian soldiers of the ala I Dardanorum. he latest monuments from a sanctuary
dedicated to Sabazius appear in the Forum Holitorium in Rome, in a site destroyed by ire ater

AD 259 (CCIS III, p. 20). hus, the latest monuments of Sabazius’ cult coincide with the establishment of Christianity. he characteristic gesture
of blessing depicted on many early Christian religious artefacts is particularly worth noting as probably borrowed from the Sabazius cult (El’nickij
1946: 99). Early Christian inds include sculptural
images of a palm with the ingers reproducing the
benedictio Latina gesture, holding a cross-topped
sphere between the middle inger, thumb, and
foreinger (Zalesskaja 1967: 88, ig. 3). he
late-pagan brooch under examination could be
another link that sheds light on the peculiarities
in the transformation of the syncretistic Sabazius’
cult and the use of its symbols in Christianity. he
oicer’s brooch indicates that this process took
place also in the military subculture.
he discovery of this interesting instance of
the Sabazius cult in Tauric Chersonesos suggests
the need for the revision of other inds associated with his worship in this Greek city. he earliest evidence of this kind appearing on the chora
dates to the last quarter of the 4th century BC. In
a room (U6) in the sanctuary in the setlement
of Panskoe, there was a cup with a dedication to
Sabazius, as well as other religious objects, including a silver snake (Gilevič 1988: 71–73). he
excavations in the city uncovered three statues of
Dionysus-Sabazius. he authors of the catalogue
about the ancient sculptures from Chersonesos
interpret two of them as second-century-AD
396
copies of original sculptures from the Archaic
Period, which are images of Dionysus rather than
Sabazius (Ivanova, Čubova, Kolesnikova
1976: 15, no. 3, 4).
More artefacts connected to the Sabazius cult
in Chersonesos date to the Roman Period. Elena
Štaerman identiied the image of a male igure on
the botom of a red slip vessel from Gregorii Belov’s
1937 excavations as this syncretistic god (Fig. 3),
particularly noting the features of Atis, Men, and
Sabazius in this representation (Štaerman 1950:
114). Belov and Stanislav Strzeleckij in their publication of this artefact atributed it to Silenus (Belov,
Strzeleckij 1953: 75–76, ig. 40, в, г). Štaerman
paid particular atention to three “mysterious signs”
scratched on the reverse of the botom, which she
interpreted as modiied or monogrammed Greek
leters. he researcher explained their appearance
on the ceramic fragment as magical practices connected with the Sabazius cult (Štaerman 1950:
114, 115). However, the three scratched signs look
more like Sarmatian tamghas than Greek leters
(Dračuk 1975: 34).
Tamgha signs feature volute-shaped and rectangular divergent elements, oten joined by
a crossbar. All three signs scratched on the vessel
botom also appeared among Sarmatian artefacts.
he irst sign consists of diamond-shaped and
S-shaped elements joined by a crossbar (Solomonik 1959: no. 43). he second sign resembles a monogram of the Greek leters ‘p’ and ‘ω’.
A similar sign appears on plates from Olbia and
Krivyi Rih and on golden badges from Sarmatian
barrows (Solomonik 1959: nos. 18, 43, 60, 134).
he third sign is similar to those found in AkKaia Cave and on a slab from Koktebel (Solomonik 1959: nos. 39, 58). he Sarmatian tamgha
signs were common on the Northern Black Sea
Coast in the irst centuries AD, particularly in
the Hellenistic centres under Sarmatian inluence, such as the Bosporan Kingdom and Olbia.
In Chersonesos, such inds are so rare that Ella
Solomonik included only two artefacts into her
selection of Sarmatian signs: a marble slab with
three signs and a bronze mirror (Solomonik
a brooch from tauric chersonesos with a dedication to sabazius
1959: nos. 62, 125). Although Viktor Dračuk published a bronze buckle-plate from Chersonesos
with a sign interpreted as tamgha (Dračuk 1974:
ig. 1), this is rather a part of a Roman military belt
set (Kostromičev 2011: 46, 47, ig. 25.6). he
set of tamgha signs found in Chersonesos was
recently supplemented by a buckle- or belt-plate
(Saprykin, Doroško 2011). herefore, the grafito on the red slip vessel excavated in 1937 is only
one of many artefacts of the kind.
here are three more images scratched near
the signs under examination. hey are not visible (perhaps intentionally retouched) in the irst

a brooch from tauric chersonesos with a dedication to sabazius
tal head-pieces than large and complicated votive
pieces. his “utilitarian” group consists of metal
and bone rods or pins, which are widespread
at the sites from the Roman Period. A recent
hypothesis states that these artefacts were more
than simple decorations, relecting their owners’
religious beliefs. here are two diferent typologies addressing these inds. Felix Lang’s division
includes ive variants of hand-shaped head-pieces
distinguished according to the gesture types
(Lang 2008: 153, Abb. 5–9). David Bartus’ typology addresses the diferent objects found in the
palm, with a consideration of the presence or
absence of bracelets on the wrist. Bartus distinguishes eight types of ‘gesture and object’ aspects
and the same number of wrist decorations appearing on 216 inds from the entire territory of the
Empire (Bartus 2012: 206–208. ig. 3). Despite
the many details referred to in Bartus’ typology,
the one proposed by Lang seems to be more
correct due to being based on a very important
diferentiation — the gesture. Both researchers
connected the dress pins showing the benedictio
Latina with Sabazius. Bartus’ typology describes
these pins as Type 3 (Bartus 2012: 211), while
Lang’s as Variant C (Lang 2008: 156, Abb. 8).
Both researchers related the pins with extended
ingers to Jupiter Dolichenus (Lang 2008: 156;
Bartus 2012: 212). herefore, Shevchenko’s conclusion that hand-shaped head-pieces belonged
to Sabazius’ cult (Ševčenko 2007: 348) would
not be correct. As a result, it would be interesting to analyze the Chersonese series of eight pins
topped with human palms.

Фибула с посвящением Сабазию из Херсонеса Таврического
(Pезюме)
В
статье рассматривается фибула с латинской
надписью на спинке (pис. 1). Она была найдена
в Херсонесе или его ближайшей округе до 1872 г. и
сейчас экспонируется в Государственном историческом музее в Москве. Предмет относится к 1 типу
Т-образных шарнирных фибул по типологии Э. Келлера и Ф. Прёттеля. Экземпляр из Херсонеса можно
датировать по аналогиям 50-ми – 80-ми годами III в.
Подобные фибулы являлись частью римского воинского костюма (pис. 2). Считается, что серебряные
фибулы принадлежали офицерам римской армии.
Спинка фибулы из Херсонеса снабжена надписью SABADIO VOTVM, выполненной чернью.
Перевод: “посвящение Сабазию”. Среди однотипных фибул с надписями посвящение божеству уникально. Возможной аналогией является фибула из
Майнца с надписью DEOMAR VTFELIX. Один из
400
вариантов перевода: “Богу Марсу, носи с удачей”.
Археологические находки, соотносимые с почитанием бога Сабазия, включают лишь несколько
типов предметов. Прежде всего, это изображения
кистей рук, изготовленные из кости или бронзы
(pис. 3–5). С Сабазием отождествляются кисти,
сложенные в жесте т. н. benedictio Latina (“латинского
благословения”): мизинец и безымянный палец прижаты к ладони, остальные выпрямлены. Близким
типом памятников являются булавки с навершием в
виде кисти, сложенной в том же жесте. Ещё один тип
памятников Сабазия – это рельефы и скульптура,
изображающие этого бога. Особняком стоит бронзовая статуэтка хряка из Британского музея с надписью Μυρτίνηθεῷ Σαβαζίῳ. Остальные памятники
– это лапидарные надписи. Фибула с посвящением
Сабазию является уникальным памятником нового
a brooch from tauric chersonesos with a dedication to sabazius
типа. Учитывая то, что фибула является утилитарным предметом, предназначенным для скрепления
одежды, можно предположить, что фибула скрепляла какой-то особый плащ, связанный с почитанием Сабазия.
То, что посвящение Сабазию выгравировано на «воинской» фибуле, хорошо согласуется с данными о почитании этого бога в римской
армейской среде. Обращает на себя внимание
диалектная форма написания имени божества.
Форма Sabadius встречена на трех памятниках
эпиграфики. Все они связаны с римской армией и
территорией провинции Нижняя Мёзия. Именно
с территории этой провинции части римских войск
направлялись для прохождения службы в Херсонесском гарнизоне. Совпадение диалектной формы
написания имени божества может указывать на то,
что фибула была изготовлена на территории Нижней Мезии. В Херсонесе этот предмет появился
вместе с офицером фракийского происхождения,
проходившим службу в этом городе.
В связи с обнаружением нового памятника
культа Сабазия из Херсонеса произведена ревизия других памятников римского времени, которые привлекались исследователями в качестве
свидетельств почитания этого божества в городе.
Выясняется, что ни один из них, кроме костяной
булавки, опубликованной В. И. Кадеевым, не может
быть отнесен к культу Сабазия. Имеющиеся данные не могут свидетельствовать в пользу популярности Сабазия в Херсонесе. Вместе с тем, можно
без сомнения утверждать, что в третьей четверти
III в. культ Сабазия имел адептов среди солдат
римского гарнизона, происходящих из Нижней
Мезии.
