Sažetak
Small ceramic bottles called unguentaria are the most common grave offerings on the Hellenistic and early Roman period, produced in the whole Mediterranean Basin. Their function is still discussed. This article presents 18 unguentaria kept in the holdings of the Greek and Hellenistic collection of the Archaeological Museum in Split. All of them are found in Salona, mostly at the end of the 19 th century. They were probably grave goods, but the information about the archeological context and the circumstances of these findings are completely unknown. With the exception of one bulbous unguentarium, dated in the late first century B. C. and early decades of the first century A. D., all of them are fusiform or spindle-shaped unguentaria, with the body varying from rounded to slender, dating from the third to the first century B. C.
