Roman stone monuments from the collection of the Local museum at Ruma

Zbirka kamenih spomenika Zavičajnog muzeja u Rumi sadrži uglavnom fragmente nadgrobnih spomenika i nešto arhitektonske plastike. Nadgrobni spomenici su očuvani u takvom stanju da se uglavnom mogu izvoditi zaključci o dekorativnim elemenatima i izvesnim morfološkim osobinama. Od ostalih spomenika izdvajaju se kompozicioni delovi nadgrobnih spomenika kao što su grupe sa lavovima na postamentu i delovi arhitektonske plastike.The collection comprises 17 pieces of Roman stone sculpture, of which 9 are gravestones, 2 are compositional wholes belonging to funerary monuments and 6 are fragments of architectural decoration. All gravestones, with the exception of a funerary ara, are fragmentary and of the stela type. They may be classified as architectural types and dated probably to the second century. The compositional wholes are the so-called lion groups: two recumbent heraldic lions with a column between them and ram's heads under the forepaws. They are associated with the cult of Serapis and Cybele, and likely to date to the second half of the second century. The fragments of architectural decoration may perhaps be attributed to funerary enclosures of the area maceria cincta type
