FRAGMENTE DE VASE ȘI OBIECTE DE STICLĂ PROVENITE DIN ZONA BĂILOR CASTRULUI ROMAN DE LA HOGHIZ (JUD. BRAŞOV)
GLASSWARE FRAGMENTS AND BEADS FROM THE BATHS AREA OF THE ROMAN CASTRUM AT HOGHIZ (BRAŞOV COUNTY)

Summary/Abstract: The auxiliary Roman castrum of Hoghiz (Braşov county) has stirred the interest of researchers and antiquities enthusiasts since the mid–18th century, being represented in cartographic sources of the period as Alte Schloʃs Rudera or Pons Vetus. Over time, based on the analysis of tegular material, it is believed that Ala I Asturum, Cohors III Gallorum, Numerus Illyricorum and troops from Legio XIII Gemina were stationed here, making it the most important auxiliary castrum in Eastern Dacia. During surface investigations in 2023, 12 fragments of glass vessels were recovered from the area of the Roman baths adjacent to the castrum. They belong mainly to beakers and cups, prismatic bottles or window panes, as well as a dark‑red facetted bead. By analogy, the identified fragments can be dated to the 2nd century AD while the bead is specific to the 4th century AD with good similarities in the area of the Sântana de Mureş – Cerneahov culture.
