Some Considerations Regarding the Glass Ribbed Bowls Discovered on the East-Carpathian Area

The Roman ribbed bowls can be counted among the most important glass forms, especially in the 1st century AD. A large variety of these items was discovered in the East Carpathian davae, denoting the fact that the Geto Dacians had strong commercial ties with various regions of the Roman Empire. Especially the settlement of Poiana (Piroboridava) revealed different types of ribbed bowls ranging from marmoured examples to opaque white and ultimately, to common bluish green items. There are numerous similarities between the glass discovered in the Geto Dacian settlements and the one coming from the North Pontic regions, which suggests that they might have followed a north – west commercial direction.
