Summary/Abstract: The items included in the catalogue were discovered following archaeological systematic excavations carried out between the years 1927-1928 and 1949-1950 in the Geto-Dacian site of Poiana and come from the collections of the National History Museum of Romania. From the lot of the available items, we succeeded in identifying a number of 44 relevant vessel fragments for our study, which are represented by Hellenistic and Roman items (34 Pontic sigillata) and Geto-Dacian vessels type imitations - drinking ware (cups, kantharoi, skyphoi) and service tableware (plates). The material is fragmentary, even so in a few cases the shape where restored rather precisely.
