Sažetak
Engraved gems as very personal objects can reveal information about the people who wore them, about their status, profession and religion. They can even hint to the origin of their owner, which is sometimes the case with gems depicting the oriental or native gods. In an attempt to recognize the foreign identities on the engraved gems, four engraved gems and four glass gems from the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb have been singled out. One intaglio and one glass gem have no record of their finding place, while the rest belong to the stray finds from different sites in Roman Provinces of Dalmatia, Pannonia and Moesia. Three intaglios and four glass gems bear the depictions of oriental deities Jupiter-Serapis and Isis, Jupiter Ammon, Jupiter Heliopolitanus and Harpocrates. Last is the engraved gem showing the cavalryman with the long Celtic shield from Dalj (Teutoburgium). The group of gems discussed in the paper expands our knowledge of oriental cults in Roman provinces mentioned above and testifies to the mobility of people as well.
