The stone monuments or sculptures of stone or marble could be of local origin or could be finished products imported from leading workshop centres. In terms of limestone monuments, clearly these were of local production, as limestone was not imported. The dichotomy of sculpture made of local limestone from that made of imported marble is clearly visible. Local limestone was a material that had enough quality and was easily obtainable at that, and its use became widespread because it was suitable for sculpture even though it did not possess the compactness and shine of marble. It is most unfortunate that marble represented a much sought material that was often employed in a secondary context at a later date, or even used for the production of high-quality mortar, all of which resulted in a modest number of such monuments that somehow survived. A relatively large number of sarcophagi have been found in Pannonia, mostly made of Pohorje marble. They have a tabula in the centre of the coffin, while the lateral fields are roofed over with the so-called Noric volutes. Standing images of the deceased are usually located to the sides of the tabula. The design is closest to that of the Aquileian workshops, but the sarcophagi were produced in Pannonia. However, one relief from Mursa with an image of an unclothed Maenad in the ecstatic dance of a Dionysiac procession comes the reliefs on attic sarcophagi. All Roman marble monuments in Pannonia, sarcophagi included, were sculptured in Noric marbles. The sarcophagus from Bastaji is made of marble from the Pohorje quarries near Ptuj (Poetovio). It can, therefore, reasonably be assumed that it was made in one of the Poetovian workshops, as is also suggested by its artistic style. Since the production and trade of stone (including marble) monuments in the Roman province Pannonia has as yet not been thoroughly investigated, this paper should be considered as a small contribution towards the elucidation of this archaeological problem.

Rome, however, rose to particular prominence in the manufacture of luxury goods, required by high standard of living of the nobility, well-off citizens andabove all-the imperial court.

The ancient industry had an entirely different character, both in the way it developed as well as in the production system: it was an empire of people-often slaves, though-in which every individual had a chance to express their personal talents, and every product bore the mark of the artisan who made it. It is therefore all but impossible in the world of antiquity to set a precise border between industry and craft, because industry, even when diversified and technically organized with a division of labour of some kind, still consists of specialized craftsmen. When we discuss applied arts, we certainly have to point out the role of the craftsmen, regardless of whether they had signed their product or it had been left without a mark, the seal of a workshop or the master craftsman.
