Abstract
The article analyzes a Roman thin-cast bronze saucepan discovered in the Dacian fortress from Ardeu (Hunedoara County, Romania). The authors argue that the object belongs to a small group of similar discoveries which comprises a variant of the thin-cast saucepans belonging to Petrovszky type III. The saucepan was produced between the last two decades of the 1 st century BC and the third decade of the 1 st century AD in a workshop which can be located in the north-eastern part of the Italic Peninsula, probably at Aquileia. This is the first discovery which attests with certainty the existence of the thin-cast saucepans in the north Danubian territory, element which is important in the context of the trade relations developed along the route connecting Aquileia with the Sava Valley and the Danube during the Augustan Age.
