The study discusses the burials containing folding iron chairs of indigenous elite in NE-Pannonia. Folding iron chairs have been recovered from forty-two richly furnished burials dating from the 1st–3rd centuries AD in the European border provinces of the Roman Empire, from Britain to Thrace. Most Hungarian and international scholars agree that these chairs were symbols of rank and that the graves containing folding chairs of this type were the burials of municipal magistrates. The author rejects the interpretation that the chairs indicated the status or office of the deceased, suggesting instead that these chairs had been part of instrumenta balnei and/or toiletry sets. His arguments are based on the analysis of the currently known elite burials with iron chairs (listed in Appendix I), the position of the chairs in the grave and their occurrence together with bathing paraphernalia, as well as on various depictions
