Abstract :
Starting from the studies of Symonds and Künzl on dark colour-coated pottery from Trier of the third and fourth centuries AD, the author discusses the drinking mottoes listed on them and their meaning towards their typology and use. Adding unpublished materials from Late Roman cemeteries in Nijmegen (Netherlands), the author tries to elaborate and evaluate the interpretations of the mentioned scholars.
