Ein jungkaiserzeitlicher Goldanhänger aus Ražňany, Ostslowakei

The golden pendant was accidentally found in the northern part of a large settlement area from the 3rd-4th century in the basin of the river Torysa, eastern Slovakia. It belongs to the group of Late Roman lunula/pretzel-shaped pendants decorated with granulation and filigree. The importance of this site is underlined by the fact that in the past a wellknown princely grave (Ostrovany, formerly Ostropataka) was found nearby. Fragments of Roman-type roofing tiles are also found in the vicinity of the site.
