With the arrival of Roman rule and civilisation, the influence of Roman traditions permeated many aspects of life. Artefacts with images of an eagle are among the many surviving material remains. The symbolism of the eagle is manifested on metal figurines, stone sculptures, and reliefs on religious and funerary monuments, found at known Roman sites, urban and metalworking centres, military facilities and other edifices, further evidence of the deeply rooted symbolism of the eagle throughout Roman society. The artefacts discussed in this paper are nine artefacts depicting eagles found in Bosnia and Herzegovina and kept in the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina.Downloads
