Jug-oinochoe (from ancient Greek: οἶνος - oînos, "wine", and χέω - khéō, "I pour", literally "one who pours wine") is a common type of vessel for pouring wine in ancient times. The jug from a woman's burial near the village Chuhuno-Krepynka belongs to a rather rare type of Roman jugs Gegligerte kanne. Such jars began to be made in the workshops of Southern Italy at the end of the 1st century BCE, and their spread in the Roman provinces and beyond (including in the Sarmatian barbaricum) falls on the second half of the 1st – the beginning of the 2nd century BC.
The growing power of the Roman Empire and the spread of its influence in the Northern Black Sea region lead to the gradual revival of the Greek cities, which seek support from Rome. By the middle of the 2nd century BC, Roman garrisons appear in the main cities of the Black Sea and, certainly, a fairly significant amount of Roman import appears. In the Sarmatian burials, there are also items of prestigious use of the Latin model, in particular, silver and bronze tableware.
