AMFORA
U 1. stoljeću prije nove ere na šire područje Gorskog Kotara i Like dolaze Rimljani i pokoravaju Japode, Ilirsko pleme koje je živjelo u ovim krajevima i njegovalo svoju, u to vrijeme, vrlo razvijenu kulturu.
Rimljani svojim dolaskom romaniziraju Japode namećući im svoje kulturne značajke, u okviru kojih je bila vrlo razvijena trgovina. Čini se kako je jedan od njihovih trgovačkih puteva bio utaban u području današnjeg Zagorja Ogulinskog, o čemu svjedoči rimska amfora pronađena u izvoru Zagorske Mrežnice.
Amforu je 2007. godine izronio biolog i speleolog Branko Jalžić koji ju je pronašao zaglavljenu između kamenja i okrenutu naopačke te djelomično razbijenu. Tipološki, pronađena amfora odgovara rimskim amforama ravnog dna, kakve su se izrađivale u radionicama sjeveroistočne Italije. Ogulinska amfora visine je 60 cm, a na njoj se ističu ručke s dva užljebljenja i prstenasto grlo.

AMPHORA
In the 1st century BC, the Romans arrived to the wider area of Gorski Kotar and Lika and conquered the Iapodes, an Illyrian tribe that lived in these regions and cultivated a highly developed culture at that time.
With their arrival, the Romans Romanized the Iapodes, imposing their cultural characteristics on them, within which trade was one of the highly developed features. It seems that one of their trade routes was paved in the area of today’s Zagorje Ogulinsko, as evidenced by a Roman amphora found in the source of the river Zagorska Mrežnica.
The amphora was discovered in 2007 by the biologist and speleologist Branko Jalžić, who found it stuck between rocks, turned upside down, and partially broken. Typologically, the found amphora corresponds to Roman flat-bottomed amphoras, such as those made in workshops in northeastern Italy. The Ogulin amphora is 60 cm high, and its handles with two grooves and a ring-shaped neck.
