The Early Roman "Hoard of Vrhnika": A Collection of Finds from the River Ljubljanica
Abstract
A reconsideration of the records of the objects in the original publication (Stare 1953) and the study of the two finds from the River Ljubljanica, published here for the first time, have shown that the so-called early Roman "Hoard of Vrhnika" is a collection of objects from the river; some, or perhaps all of them come from the Bevke sector. The gladius and its scabbard with gilded relief-decorated silver fitments (from the "Hoard of Vrhnika"), and also the military belt-plate from the River Ljubljanica published here, constitute a set. They are products of the Augustan period and originate in Italian territory. In view of the prestigious character of this set, it seems likely that it had belonged to a Roman officer.
