Archaeological Museum in Split (2025)

This scientific monograph authored by Zrinka Buljević systematically presents glassware from Salona, the former capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia. The book includes 750 objects from the holdings of the Archaeological Museum in Split, dating from the mid-2nd century BC to the 7th century, covering more than 450 pages, making it one of the most comprehensive publications dedicated to ancient glass in this part of Europe. The material is processed within a typological-chronological system that includes classification according to production technique, purpose, and morphological characteristics.

According to function, the material includes cosmetic and pharmaceutical utensils, tableware, storage and transport utensils, and other categories. Each catalog record includes data on the location of the find, inventory number, description and dimensions of the object, as well as relevant analogies and a bibliography, thus providing a solid basis for further research.

Glassware represents an important segment of the material culture of the antiquity, and its analysis provides insight into everyday life, economic activities, trade networks and technological development within the Roman Empire.
