Abstract

During the 2006 excavations in the northern necropolis of Savaria-Szombathely (Pannonia), an exceptional grave inventory was discovered in Tomb 103. With its deposits of drinking vessels, lamps and balsamaria, the Flavian-period tomb is closely related to the standard equipment of early Imperial graves in middleand upper Italy. The pars pro toto burial of a bone relief of an Eros with a basket of fruit can be assessed as typically Roman; it originally belonged to a funeral couch, yet it was produced two generations earlier
than the other grave goods. The choice of a pars pro toto deposit of an Attis protome presupposes precise understanding of ancient mythology. The tableware and dishes represented in the grave inventory, however, point to a funerary banquet in the course of the burial ceremony, deriving from the Pannonian or wider
Celtic milieu.
