Abstract

The glass finds from the mausoleum date to the Roman period, mainly to the second and early third centuries CE. Two special vessels were found together in the clay coffin: a kidney-like vessel and a bird-like vessel/funnel. They were used for a specific purpose—medication and chemistry or measuring and trading of specific liquids—and might point to the profession of the interred. Also found were remains of glass production, attesting to the existence of a glass workshop nearby, prior to or after the construction of the mausoleum.
