The Germanic tribes which lived on the both banks of the Rhine in the first century CE had different experiences with the Roman empire, and often, they were not entirely sure which attitude toward Rome they should adopt: whether unambiguously positive or negative. Their ambivalent attitudes were thus characterized by the symptomatic hatred directed toward the Roman occupation of the Germanic territory on the one hand, and by the awe before the Roman authorities on the other.

The article presents first information from the archaeozoological analyses of the animal bone remains from Quadi settlement at Veľký Meder in the south-west Slovakia. It brings preliminary quantitative data on the representation of species and their importance for subsistence. Among 2546 identified specimens, domestic animals highly prevailed. The representation of economically prominent taxa suggests that cattle and small ruminants, such as sheep and goat, played the most important role in the diet and husbandry of the local Quadi population. Beef, mutton/kid has been complemented by pork and, on a small scale, by chicken. Moreover, incidental consumption of horse meat has been hypothesized in the village on the basis of few, but clear examples of butchery. Identified remains of donkey may be considered as the oldest proof of its occurrence in the territory of Slovakia. Their relatively high incidence raised the question regarding the existence of a mule or hinny in the village, which is possible due to a large portion of yet unidentifiable horse bones of intermediate size in the assemblage. On the other hand, the presence of domestic cat has been proved here without doubt. Similar to donkey, specimens from Veľký Meder, together with ones from Rusovce, Štúrovo, Malá nad Hronom and Beluša, belong to the oldest records of domestic cat in Slovakia. Its occurrence in the studied settlement supports the idea that keeping or breeding of donkey and cat by our Quadi most probably resulted from the commercial and political contacts with the Roman provinces. In addition to the above findings, the article also brings first glimpse on the appearance of local cattle and sheep and compares it with similar data from contemporaneous and precedent sites in the west Slovakia. It seems that Germanic sheep in its dimensions markedly oversize that of the Celts.

The main aim of an article is to focus on the presentation of pear-shaped pendants found in the barbarian environment, specifically in the area of Slovakia during the Roman Period. Most essential for this work was an article of A. von Müller from 1956. It provides a typological classification according to which the finds from Slovakia were sorted. We can see the origins of the younger pear-shaped pendants in the older ball shape. Development of pendants is observable not only in the prolonging of a body shape but also in the surface decoration. Younger types represents the master works of an artisans through the delicate motifs created with thin metal wires and granulation. Archaeological and anthropological analyses points to its belonging to the female ornaments of a body. These small pieces of jewellery, made out of precious metals, were in Slovak territory found mostly in the urn graves. For the reason, that some of these finds carry traces after burning, we can expect, that they are belongings of the deceased. Most of them belongs to the B2/C1 stage. Many analogies to finds from Slovak sites are coming from Germanic burial grounds of Roman Period in today’s Poland, which indicates its origin in this area. Pear-shaped pendants were most likely brought to Slovak territory in the Roman Period by people of Przeworsk culture.
