Abstracts

EN

Emanuel Marcel’s Collection has become a part of the Slovak National Museum – Bratislava Archaeological Museum. It includes two small bronze figurines of a horse and a horseman that very likely belong to each other. Together, they allegedly represent a “Thracian horseman”, a divinity worshipped notably in the territory of the Roman province of Thrace, but also in the western Black Sea region and in the Balkan Peninsula. E. Marcel probably brought the statuettes after a visit in south-eastern Europe. Unfortunately, we do not know the circumstances relating to the finding of these artefacts.
