    Annotation:

    Our knowledge of the Roman city and necropolis of Kissamos was enriched, on occasion of a project carried out under the supervision of the Ephorate of Antiquities of Chania, in 2015. In the west cemetery of ancient Kissamos, a new family rock-cut chamber tomb came to light. The rectangular subterranean chamber of a trapezoidal vertical section with a roof opening, received multiple burials. The offerings, included several mainly glass unguentaria, clay vessels, bone objects, beads and gold sheets, demonstrate the long use of this family grave, from the 1st c.A.D. to the 3rd c. A.D. Of particular interest is an imported mold-blown glass drinking vessel of luxury ware. It is an inscribed cylindrical beaker of the 1st c. AD, bearing the Greek inscription "ΛΑΒΕ ΤΗΝ ΝΕΙΚΗΝ(incorrect orthography for "CATCH THE VICTORY").
