INVENTORY OF VAULTED TOMBS FROM DOL NEAR BELA PALANKA

(REMESIANA)

In the place of present-day Bela Palanka there are ruins of the Roman urban centreRemesiana, whose existence is conrmed with certainty in the 3rd century. At the end of the4th and the beginning of the 5th century it became the seat of episcope Nicetas, most probablyby origin from these parts. Remesiana was on the road that connected the important townsNaissus and Serdica, some 35 km (24-25 miles) from the rst, and some 106 km (72 miles)from the second centre. The north necropolis ofRemesiana is in the vineyards, on the rightbank of Niava, in the vicinity of the village Dol. At this place were, by accident, discoveredthe built graves and vaulted tombs. One of these tombs was investigated in 1884. In its vicin-ity, on the estate of Duan Sokolovi, in 1923 was registered a tomb of same construction,with the grave-niche, the vault and the entrance on the east side. Inside was found a great

number of objects, which the nders divided between themselves, and the National Museumin Belgrade on few occasions managed to buy parts of this nd (Fig. 1). In the collections ofthis museum today can be found two cameos in the golden frames (Fig. 2), one of them hang-ing on the golden chain (Fig. 3), aureus of Vetranio and the coins of Maximian Herculius,while for the golden ring with the male portrait and the acclamation VIVAS IN DEO on theat head it was not conrmed with certainty that it represents a part of this nd (Fig. 8). But,it is interesting that in the list of the ancient monuments from our country, published in 1934,in the rst place is mentioned the golden ring from Bela Palanka with the inscription FIDEMCONSTANTINO, the property of Radovan Filipovi, most probably the same person fromwhich the Museum bought in 1923 the golden jewelry and the coin of Maximian Herculius.Therefore we assume that this ring could be a part of inventory of this tomb, because in thereports are mentioned two rings, but without their description. According to the luxuriousjewelry with cameos, on which, most probably, is represented the empress Fausta, the femaleperson buried in this tomb was in Constantines time high on the social scale. Unfortunately,except these decorations for the clothes (Fig. 4-6), characteristic for Late Antiquity (Fig. 7),

on her other jewelry there are no precise informations. But, the chronologically heterogeneousnumismatic material of the tomb points to the existence of two burials at least, throwing newlight to the possible grave-inventory of each of them. Namely, this emission of delityrings to Constantine took place at the time when the coin of Maximian Herculius from thetomb in Dol was minted, and also when the luxurious jewelry for the womans clothes wasmade, which was decorated by cameos with the representation of the daughter of MaximianHerculius and the wife of Constantine the Great, Fausta. This material could represent thegrave-inventory of the rst burials in the tomb from Dol, which took place around 320, whilethe aureus of Vetranio, the bronze coin of Constantius II and the ring with the male portraitin prole on the square head and the engraved acclamation IN DEO VIVAS could be a partof the grave-inventory of the deceased buried after 350. Because the older decorative objectsfrom this tomb belong to female and male jewelry, which, at the same time, represents thestatus symbols, we assume that it is the jewelry of a couple which in Constantines time be-longed to the lite of the inhabitants ofRemesiana. Beside the delity ring to Constantine,mentioned above, fromRemesiana comes also another specimen of the same type (Fig. 9),which is kept in the British Museum since 1897. This ring could be a part of the inventory ofthe nearby tomb from Dol, excavated in 1884.
