    The War Museum in Logatec keeps a group of unprofes-sionally excavated, mostly Roman metal objects from the site of Vodice near Kalce. Among them there is also a supposed late Roman hoard of metal objects, the composition of which is not definitely known any more. A detailed analysis of all objects made it possible to date some of them only to the Ro-man Imperial period, some more precisely to the Late Roman period and four of them assumedly to the Middle Ages or to the modern times. An attempt at reconstruction of the hoard, based on the dating of objects, oral data and comparison with similar contemporary hoards from the present-day territory of Slovenia, set apart as the supposed composition of the hoard a steelyard, three wide axes, two axes, two adzes, a double-bladed adze, a hoe, a woodworking knife, a gimlet, a pair of compasses, an anvil, a bolt, and an awl. It was possible to date the hoard only inexactly to the 4th century or maybe to the end of the 4th century.
