Sažetak
A significant trace was left behind in the Roman province of Dalmatia from the first to third centuries by glassmakers whose names are known, whether their wares were imported or produced locally. Fragments of glass cups made, and signed, by Ennion and Aristeas were found in the Augusteum and Water Pipeline excavations in Narona (Vid, near Metković), in Tilurium (Gardun) and in Burnum (Ivoševci, near Kistanje). A skyphos was found in the Augusteum in Narona, the product of one of the six Sidonians. A glass cameo was found in the same temple, possibly the work of one of the three sons of Dioscorides. Two glassmakers were active in Salona, a certain Paschasius or Pascasius, and probably Miscenius Ampliatus. The work of the glassmakers Trellus and Athenius is associated with Asseria (Podgrađe near Benkovac). It should be added that there is a possibility that the personal names on the bottoms of balsamaria and vials are in fact the names of glassmakers, so Argyruntum (Starigrad), Iader (Zadar), Asseria, Volcera (Bakar) and Zaton are linked to these names: Rufinius, A(ntonius) Volumnius Ianuarius, Q. Danus Euhelpistus, L. Aemilius Blasius, C. Salvius Gratus, Cn. Pompeius Cassianus, while Resnik is associated with Alexandros (Aλεξανδρος). If these are glassmakers, their vessels were imported into Dalmatia from (Northern) Italy. Also noteworthy here is the hypothesis on the Dalmatian branch of the workshops of Blasius and Pompeius.
