A collection of Roman Period metal objects was acquired with the help of a metal detector survey in the vicinity of Přelouč. The artefacts were handed over to the City Museum in Přelouč. Of special impor tance among this collection is a Roman gilt finger ring made from a copper alloy, dated back to the 2nd–3rd centuries AD, and a pyriform balsamarium of the type Bienert 102/103. The collection is dominated by brooches, which can be dated from the end of the 1st century until the 4th century. Most of them belong to the Late or Final Roman Iron Age. This might indicate that the settlement reached its peak within this time period.
