Abstrakt:
The issue of bronze/brass grooved toreutics from the Roman period is a popular topic of metal vessels research. This paper briefly summarizes contemporary knowledge about this theme and highlights the genesis and variability of the studied group of artefacts. This paper is based on the research of grooved ware which took place at Moravia and and the Upper Danube part of Lower Austria. This research has added, enlarged and also actualized the distribution map of archaeological finds from the region of former Czechoslovakia and the Upper Danube part of Lower Austria. Attention will not be paid to the function of metal vessels, because a specialized study has been published scrutinizing this problem in detail.
