The subject of this paper is a fragmented oil-lamp, discovered at Pontes (east Serbia) dated to the 6th century, whose handle ending is shaped as a woman?s head. The question posed in this paper is whether the image of this woman could be identified as a portrait of some particular person or if it is just as a pictorial sign with some complicated symbolic meaning. The suggested identification alludes to the image of some of the empresses from the second half of the 6th century.

During the extensive archaeological rescue excavations of the southern necropoles at Viminacium, at one of them, Pećine, 17 coins were found from provincial issues of Thracian mints, issued by eight mints, and two pieces from Moesia Inferior, originating from one mint. Out of a total of 19 pieces, 11 were found in graves, and the others in the layers of the necropolis.

It seems that besides huge ecological problems and the disappearance of arable land as a result of the spread of the mining industry in the area of Kostolac, the local community, with its relationship towards the environment and heritage, is the greatest barrier to the cultural and touristic development of the area.Can we use the verb "to beautify" for any positive change within the community? The Viminacium management team has taken the lead in trying to make many changes that will bring that beauty.

OpenArch is a five year cultural project with eleven partners from eight European countries, based on EXARC's key strengths -its supportive community and international perspective. OpenArch aims to build a permanent partnership of archaeological open-air museums, raising standards among participants and improving the visitor experience across Europe.

The basic idea of the paper is to analyse opinions, requests, suggestions and impressions about the Viminacium Archaeological Park. For a better understanding of visitors' impressions and comments, a questionnaire was made for foreign (English speaking) visitors from cruise ships, in order to improve the general touristic offer. All answers were transferred to statistical charts and the results gained through this analysis will be presented in this paper.
