Necropolele XXX, unele puse în evidenţă după anul 2000, respectau tradiţia plasării locurilor de veci dincolo de zidurile oraşului (extra muros). Ritul şi ritualul, incineraţia (de tip bustum) şi inhumaţia (în sarcofage de piatră sau cărămidă), depunerea de ofrande (alimente, opaiţe – lucernae, vase – afumători – turribulum -, felurite obiecte personale şi monede – simbolul către Charon – obicei perpetuat şi astăzi) sunt prezente şi la XXX dovedind aceleaşi mentalităţi ale celui ce se consideră şi era homo Romanus.

censer

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censer

Censers are any type of vessels made for burning incense. These vessels vary greatly in size, form, and material of construction. They may consist of simple earthenware bowls or fire pots to intricately carved silver or gold vessels, small table top objects a few centimetres tall to as many as several metres high. In many cultures, burning incense has spiritual and religious connotations, and this influences the design and decoration of the censer.
