Roman seal boxes held in the Archaeological Museum in Split

U radu je obrađeno 26 rimskih kutijica za pečate, od kojih su četiri sačuvane u cijelosti, a ostale samo djelomično. Korištene su kao zaštita za voštani pečat kojim se osiguravala pošiljka, i to na način da se kutijica pomoću voska lijepila na čvor (spoj) uzice kojom se pošiljka vezivala. Na taj je način pečat bio zaštićen. Njegovim oštećenjem, namjernim ili nenamjernim, nepovrjedivost pošiljke bila je narušena. Svi predmeti obrađeni u ovom radu čuvaju se u Arheološkome muzeju u Splitu. U Muzej su većim dijelom dospjeli otkupom te nema sačuvanih preciznih podataka o okolnostima nalaza. Poznati su jedino podatci o mjestu nalaza te godini i načinu nabave. Samo su tri kutijice obrađene u ovom radu pronađene u arheološkim istraživanjima.The paper covers 26 small Roman seal boxes, of which four have been preserved in their entirety and the rest only partially. They were used to protect the wax seals that secured sent packages, such that with the help of wax the box was affixed to the knot (bond) of the string with which the package was tied. The seal was protected in this way. Any damage to it, whether intentional or not, diminished the inviolability of the package. All of the items analysed in this work are held in the Archaeological Museum in Split. Most of them were obtained by the Museum through purchases, so no precise data on the discovery circumstances have been preserved. Only data on the find sites and the year and method of procurement are known. Only three of the boxes analysed in this paper were found in archaeological excavations
