In 1900, with the occasion of construction works caused by the expansion of the foundry of Zlatna, a group of five Roman bronze vessels, positioned upside down in a pit, were discovered. In the proximity of the pit, two altars dedicated to Fortuna Salutaris and Jupiter Optimus Maximus were identified. This situation made Gábor Téglás presume that a sanctuary dedicated to the two divinities existed in this area during the Roman period and that the vessels were employed in different cultic activities undertaken here. The paper focuses on the character of the discovery and on the composition of the bronze vessels assemblage. It states that the context of the discovery does not allow with certainty a correlation between the two altars and the five bronze vessels. In the present state of research, the vessels of Ampelum represent the only confirmed example from Roman Dacia of a bronze drinking assemblage and the most direct evidence for the preparation of calda (wine mixed with warm water).
Keywords: Roman Dacia, Ampelum, bronze vessels, wine preparation, imports.
