These objects were both practical and decorative. Given the considerable variety of the buckles discussed here, the period from which they date is also relatively wide, ranging from the 1st century to late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages.

A stone bearing a relief was built into the parapet, with the relief facing outwards. Though this Roman relief has long been known, it was never the subject of archaeological analysis. This paper determines, from a study of the iconographic content and comparison with other monuments, that it represents the cult of Attis, a Phrygian deity, which reached the province of Dalmatia in the 1st century. The relief from Blažuj displays most of the typical iconographic features of Attis. These include the crossed legs, the naked belly, the navel, and probably the long curly hair or a Phrygian cap, and a cornucopia or wings. He is leaning on a shepherd’s crook, suggesting that the relief is of “Attis tristis.” The relief dates from the 2nd or 3rd century.

Artefacts with images of an eagle are among the many surviving material remains. The symbolism of the eagle is manifested on metal figurines, stone sculptures, and reliefs on religious and funerary monuments, found at known Roman sites, urban and metalworking centres, military facilities and other edifices, further evidence of the deeply rooted symbolism of the eagle throughout Roman society. The artefacts discussed in this paper are nine artefacts depicting eagles found in Bosnia and Herzegovina and kept in the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Key words: Roman eagle, stone sculptures, metal figurines, relief scenes, Roman mythology, province of Dalmatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The fibulae became a part of the monastery collection as a result of collector’s activities and gifts from mostly external associates in contact with the monastery and friars. It can be assumed that a part of the fibulae originate from the area of present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina, that is, archaeological localities, such as the site Breza, which is not far from the monastery. It is quite possible that a number of fibulae came from localities in present-day Serbia or Croatia. These are localities near Zagreb, Sremska Mitrovica and Belgrade, where the contributors travelled or stayed, before or during their contact or stay at the monastery in Visoko. It is assumed that the persons who brought these fibulae were Vinko Mikoljiji, Viktor Kopač, dr. Kušana and Franjo Rački. The majority are Roman-era fibulae, which are the subject of analysis in this paper. The fibulae are according to the typological determinant of this collection sorted into high profile bow fibulae with or without support plate, knee fibulae, zoomorphic fibulae, ring fibulae, Bugelkopf type fibulae and crossbow fibulae.

The National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina has a number of amphorae found at Narona, outside Bosnia and Herzegovina. The same is true of the Fran-ciscan monastery in Visoko, which has a few well-preserved amphorae. One of the most important sites in Bosnia and Herzegovina at which amphorae have been found is the Hel-lenistic site of Daorson. Though they have been the subject of interest from time to time, this is the first paper to give a full picture of the amphorae found or kept in museums in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In terms of typology, these include examples of Lesbian, Rhodian and Corcyran amphorae, the Greco-Italic type, Lamboglia 2, Dressel 2-4, 6A, 20, 23a, 26, 27, 30, 34, 38, Hopfengarten, African: Africana 2 and type XXVII, flat-bottomed amphorae, Forlimpopoli, amphorae with a funnel-shaped rim, Dimmeser Ort type, Pontic amphorae type XX, Benghazi MR type, Eastern Mediterranean type XV, Syrian type, Late Roman 1 type, and Byzantine type amphorae. The sites where they were found reveal marked ancient Hellenistic and Roman influence on their use in Bosnia and Herzegovina: not only Daorson, but also at the sites of Roman villas, in Višići, Panik, and in military forts, urban settlements and the like, where the ancient, Mediterranean and Roman diet was well established. Despite the many archaeological excavations that have yielded amphorae, and their publication as part of the presentation of individual sites, this is the first synthetic treatment relating to the material located in Bosnia and Herzegovina

This is also true of sites in present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina, where such material has been found at various Roman archaeological sites. Most such objects are kept in the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but some important artefacts are also located in the Franciscan Monastery in Visoko, the Museums in Doboj, Travnik, Tuzla, Zenica and Bijeljina, and other museum institutions and collections.
Key words: Roman keys, ring keys, large keys, anthropomorphic keys, classic keys, lock systems, latches, deadbolts, hinges, railings, Roman period, Bosnia and Herzegovina
