English summary: The catalogue of 461 Roman metal vessels from Mainz and Rhine-Hesse provides for the first time a comprehensive overview of this important group of materials for the legionary site and the provincial capital Mainz and its surroundings. All known vessels and vessel fragments from museums, private collections and the holdings of the State Archaeology Department are dealt with in this volume, including those that have only survived as literature citations. As expected, by far the largest share of finds comes from the urban area of Mainz and from the Rhine, whose course partly borders the settlement areas. It should be taken into account that the distribution of finds here also reflects the excavation and collection history. As far as possible, the objects have been redrawn in reconstructive form; photographs document the actual state of preservation. Metal analyses are available for almost half of the vessels. The catalogue classifies the find material according to metal type, functional and typological criteria. Detailed information on the state of research as well as detailed chronological explanations of the vessel types go beyond a purely descriptive catalogue and anticipate parts of the planned evaluation. German description: Der 461 Nummern verzeichnende Katalog der romischen Metallgefasse aus Mainz und Rheinhessen gibt erstmals einen umfassenden gefasstoreutischen Uberblick dieser bedeutenden Materialgruppe fur den Legionsstandort und die Provinzhauptstadt Mainz sowie deren Umland. Samtliche bekannten Gefasse bzw. Gefassfragmente aus Museen, Privatsammlungen und dem Bestand der Landesarchaologie werden in dem Band behandelt, auch solche, die nur noch als Literaturzitat uberliefert sind. Der weitaus grosste Fundanteil stammt erwartungsgemass aus dem Stadtgebiet von Mainz sowie aus dem Rhein, der mit seinem Verlauf die Siedlungsareale zum Teil begrenzt. Es ist zu berucksichtigen, dass hier die Fundverteilung auch die Grabungs- und Sammlungsgeschichte widerspiegelt. Soweit moglich, wurden die Objekte in rekonstruierender Form neu gezeichnet; Fotos belegen den eigentlichen Erhaltungszustand. Fur fast die Halfte der Gefasse liegen Metallanalysen vor. Der Katalog gliedert das Fundmaterial nach Metallart, funktionalen und typologischen Kriterien. Ausfuhrliche Angaben zum Forschungsstand sowie eingehende chronologische Erlauterungen zu den Gefasstypen gehen uber einen rein beschreibenden Katalog hinaus und nehmen Teile der geplanten Auswertung bereits vorweg.
