The Roman Emperors and Danube Wine Route
Belgrade, Serbia

At the upper level of the Wine Pitcher Burial Chamber there are remnants of the walls of the memorial chapel above the crypt. It was accessible from the south, its northern wall was straight, and there were 3 pillars on each side. The walls are decorated with painted floral and geometric ornaments. The grid motif probably refers to the Garden of Paradise. On the northern side, tendrils of grapes surround the small niche, characterising the Balkan burial chambers of Sopianae. The pitcher and cup representation seen in the niche has several possible interpretations.
