Excavations at Mălăiești Roman Fort and bath (Romania, Prahova County) revealed a small roman fortification and its baths. This paper will attempt to show the significance of the glassware finds through a social-cultural analysis resulting from the way the finds were distributed within the site. Our study describes the glassware fragments found during recent excavations and offers an analysis in the context of the manufacturing processes, spatial distribution, and the circumstances of their discovery as well as the chemical analysis of the typical samples. As an end result, we were able to determine their chronological, morphological, and typological properties.
This paper presents 86 coins discovered during the archaeological excavations carried out at the Roman fort and baths at Mălăiesti (19 specimens in the fort and 67 specimens in the baths), as well as 3 coins found by chance in the area of the fort. The earliest of these date from the period of the Roman Republic, while the most recent were issued during the final years of Trajan's reign, more precisely between February 116 and August 117. The coin finds are very important for the dating of the fort and baths at Mălăiești.
