WHAT`S IN A NAME? A STAMPED SHIELD-BOSS FROM GRĂDIȘTEA DE MUNTE-SARMIZEGETUSA REGIA

Alin Henț, Daniel Cioată

Abstract


Everybody has a name. Some are proud of their name, some are not. Those who are so pleased with their names, from the desire to last forever, are writing it on different buildings, walls, architectural complexes or even archaeological monuments. On the other side, there are some people who are ashamed with their names and desperately want to change it. For sure, names are one of the most definitive markers of individuality. In this paper, together, we will discover what`s in a name stamped on a shield-boss from Grădiștea de Munte-Sarmizegetusa Regia (Romania).
