During the decades-long research of the Viminacium necropolises, numerous ceramic
vessels were discovered in graves of cremated and inhumated individuals. Their
research helps to a better understanding of not only funeral rituals, but also the everyday
life, customs and economy of the ancient population. The wide repertoire of
discovered vessels indicates developed trade links with other parts of the Empire. The
majority of these vessels represent local products, which indicates the inventiveness
of domestic potters who supplied all of the Viminacium necropolises with their products.
The paper presents an overview of the most common forms and types of vessels
discovered in Viminacium graves and whose timeframe covers the period from the
1st to the 4th century AD
