Summary/Abstract: After the excavation of 14,000 graves at Viminacium, the researchers are trying to reconstruct both the funeral cult and life in the largest city of Moesia Superior by analyzing the grave goods. In this paper, the emphasis is on graves with cremation of the Mala Kopašnica-Sase type and the inventory found in them, in those cases when three jugs are present, i.e. which objects can be expected, to a greater or lesser extent, besides the three jugs. The review included all the cemeteries explored so far that form the unique Viminacium necropolis.
