Excavations of the Warsaw University Institute of Archaeology in an urban villa at Ptolemais, Cyrenaica, yielded an interesting collection of wall paintings from the 3rd cent. AD. These new finds enrich our knowledge about painted decorations of houses in this part of the Roman empire. The wall paintings include mostly high quality imitations of marble plates, which partially bring to mind an opus alexandrinum mentioned in Historia Augusta. This interim publication comprises the most important fragments of the wall paintings preserved in situ.

Documentation surviving in the Collection of Ancient Art in the National Museum in Warsaw enables reconstruction of the history of part of the Goluchów collection during World War II. At the time the objects, including two silver plates published in this volume of 'Archeologia' (pp. 107-131), were hidden in cellars of the Czartoryski family house in Warsaw, 12 Kredytowa str. The hiding place was found by the Germans in 1941, and all the objects were moved to the National Museum in Warsaw, where they were kept until 1944. In October 1944, after the fall of the Warsaw Uprising, the Goluchów collection was taken away by German troops, but some of the objects, the two plates among them, were found soon after that and brought back to the National Museum. They were introduced into the Museum's register in 1947.

This is a new publication of two late Roman silver plates, found in 1852 in Toulouse and kept now in the National Museum in Warsaw. They were mentioned in recent studies on Gallic silver vessels, but most scholars consider them to have been lost since World War II. In 1889 the plates became part of the Princes Czartoryski collection of antiquities, acquired in Paris and then moved to the castle at Goluchów, Poland. During World War II they were taken to the National Museum. Renovations of the plates revealed new elements of ornamentation, which shed light on their interpretation. An inscription on the plate with a golden multiplum of Theodosius II, with names of people known from the correspondence of Sidonius Apollinarius, allows us to connect both plates with largitiones among Gallic aristocracy of the 5th c. AD.

This is the first publication of nine inscriptions from the 1998-2002 excavations of the valetudinarium at Novae. They came, however, from different parts of the fortress of the legion 'I Italica', and a funerary monument no. 9 stood originally outside the fortifications. In each case the edition of the text is followed by an analysis of the material and technique. These inscriptions include: 1) dedication of a tempel to Sol Invictus (?) by Elagabalus, 2) inscription on rebuilding of a structure (most likely a fountain or a temple) by two legionary veterans ('imaginifer' and 'custos armorum'), 3) fragment of an inscription from a large building of Trajan's time dedicated by the province legate and the legionary legate, 4) small fragment with the name of Septimius Severus (?), 5) fragment of a monumental inscription, 6) altar for Genius centuriae of the 'princeps legionis', 7) altar for Jupiter and Diana Bu( ) erected by a veteran of the legion 'I Italica', 8) altar dedicated by a 'tesserarius', 9) tomb stone of Charagonia Arche, possibly a female descendant of a freedman Publius Caragonius Philopalaestrus, known from another inscription from Novae.
