The glass beaker was part of the grave goods of a cremation burial under tumulus, dated to the 2nd – 3rd c. AD, in the necropolis from Galați (Galați county, Romania), on the Danubian limes. The find, remarkable for this part of the Roman Empire, is discussed from a typological and technological point of view, in the context of glass vessels with snake-thread decoration from other regions of the Roman world.BeakerGrave goodsArchaeologyExcavationContext (archaeology)Glass industryArtAncient historyarticle
