In 1997, during a surface prospection, a fragment of a Roman bronze statuette was found at a Germanic settlement from the 2nd to 4th century in Veľký Meder (southwestern Slovakia). It is probably a figure of Hercules, who is leaning on a club with his right hand. In recent years, there have been discoveries of bronze and lead Roman statuettes from the Germanic sites in western Slovakia. A discussion was therefore opened about the penetration of Roman ideas into the spiritual world of the Germanic people. However, the statuette of Mercury placed in a Germanic urn grave at the burial site in Ivanka pri Dunaji represents a non-Roman act. It testifies to the distinctive approach and ‚non-Roman perception‘ of the Roman artefact. In the Roman world, bronze statuettes were rarely placed in graves.
