Spearheads and spear butts (over 270 examples) represent the most numerous offensive weapon among the objects from the Mušja jama / Fliegenhöhle votive hoard. They are divided into 7 major groups and various subgroups according to their form and size. Their numerous analogies from European hoards and graves are discussed. They hint to the prevailing eastern provenance (eastern Carpathian basin) of spears in the earler period of the hoard (13th-11th century BC) and northern and western (Italian) provenance in the later period of the hoard (11th-9th century BC). Iron spears with Aegean Proto- and Early Geometric period characteristics are also included in later period finds from the hoars. Rare recognizable spearheads from the latest period of the hoard (9th-8th century BC) attest regional south eastern Alpine characteristics.

Recent finds from Grad near Šmihel pod Nanosom have shed new light on an assemblage of Roman republican weapons excavated at this site as early as ca. 1890. In the Notranjska region, Roman weapons and parts of military equipment are known from Baba and Ambroževo gradišče near Slavina, Kerin above Pivka, Primož above Raduhova vas, Gradišče at Čepna, Gradišče above Knežak, Stari grad above Unec, Žerovnišček near Bločice, Ulaka above Stari trg pri Ložu, and perhaps Gradišče above Gornja Košana and Ahac. Nadleški hrib in the valley of Loška dolina harbours the remains of a Roman stronghold. This paper examines the materials from these sites and identifies Roman military presence through several periods, from 2nd century BC until Late Roman period.

The results of arcchaeometric research into military metalwork from the end of the Republican period and early Principate found in the River Ljubljanica indicate a high level of standardisation in the use of nonferrous metals. Publications of Roman military metalwork from other sites, including data on nonferrous metals, would be necessary in order to get an idea of the general degree of standardisation in the use of nonferrous metals in the production of Roman military metalwork in the final decades of the 1st century BC and early decades of the 1st century AD.

The paper describes and discusses the archaeological evidence from Gradišče in Cerkno and Vrh gradu near Pečine in the Posočje region (the Tolmin-Cerkno area). The Roman weapons (various projectiles) and military equipment recovered there indicate Roman military activities and closely resemble those from Grad near Reka and its environs that are probably connected with Octavian's Illyrian wars (35–33 BC; Istenič 2005).

The author has collected all relevant documentation about the small silver Taurisci coins of the Đurđevac type. It was possible to prove that two groups of small change of this type had been minted. The first group has a so-called head of Apollo on the obverse, with a horse on the reverse, while the coins of the second group have a horse depicted on both sides. The coins correspond to one third of a drachm or one twelfth of the large silver coin of that type. Similarly to the tetradrachms of this type, the minting of their small change can be chronologically classified to the end of the 2nd century BC.
