Abstract

This article deals with the vessels decorated with faces that have been discovered in various residential and storage areas within Carnuntum. The majority were found in civilian contexts, with only one exemplar deriving from a clearly sepulchral context. Classification into possible original use contexts has been undertaken with reference to the finds from nearby Vindobona, which, in terms of numbers, constitute the vast majority of such finds, the emphasis being on the apotropaic connotation and possible association with fire of this group of vessels.
