In this paper the material culture and representative archaeological artefacts are used to address the question either if the spherical shape of the Earth was an exclusive knowledge or if it was known by the many in the Roman imperial time.

Keywords: Round Earth, Astronomical Knowledge, Roman Imperial Period, Worldview
