One of the most significant archaeological finds from the Sarajevo area \u2013 the Ilid\u017ea Patera \u2013 is today on display at Brusa Bezistan, a branch of the Museum of Sarajevo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The patera was discovered in 1950 during archaeological excavations in Ilid\u017ea, in a room north of Hotel Bosna. Three fragments of this extremely valuable vessel were found, dating from the 2nd or 3rd century AD, and it is of great importance for the study of cults and everyday life in the ancient period in the area of present-day Ilid\u017ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In antiquity, the patera was used for ritual purposes, but also as a cup \u2013 an award presented to athletes. It was made of precious metals such as gold, silver or bronze, and more rarely of ceramics. It was also used in thermal baths as a vessel for pouring water. The patera is decorated with rich plant motifs, among which the motif of the native lily stands out, testifying to the cultural and commercial connections between the Roman and Illyrian worlds, as well as to the importance of the healing thermal springs in Ilid\u017ea in ancient times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The original Ilid\u017ea Patera can be seen in the permanent exhibition of Brusa Bezistan, and a replica of this unique vessel is also available in the museum souvenir shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also remind you that last year BH Po\u0161ta issued a postage stamp featuring the Ilid\u017ea Patera as part of the \u201cEurope \u2013 National Archaeological Discoveries\u201d series, further presenting this exceptional find to the public and confirming its significance for the cultural heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
