The Roman bronze situla comes from a collection of archaeological artifacts confiscated at customs and transferred to the holdings of the National Museum of History of Moldova in 2009. Its place of discovery remains unknown.

A situla (Latin for "bucket") is a metal vessel-usually made of bronze-shaped like a pail and equipped with two movable handles at the top, traditionally used for mixing wine with water. The handles are attached to the vessel via two decorated ears that are welded to the rim.

The body of the situla is truncated-conical in shape and features two decorative bands with small circular patterns formed by hammering, located just below the rim.

Its base is double-layered: the inner bottom is hemispherical and hammered, while the outer bottom is flat and lathe-made. The outer base is welded to the inner bottom, serving as the vessel's foot-support.

This object was crafted using a combination of casting, hammering, and partial lathe-finishing. Dimensions: Maximum height - 31.7 cm; Maximum diameter - 22.8 cm; Base diameter - 13.5 cm

Situlae of this type originated in the Roman Empire and were later adopted by various ancient peoples, including those from the northwestern Pontic region.

Certains aspects de la politique impériale russe dans le commerce avec la Principauté de Moldavie (1812-1859)

Tyragetia, serie nouă, vol. V [XX], nr. 2, Istorie. Muzeologie

Les intérêts économiques et politiques de l’Empire Russe ont dicté les tendances de l’annexion et de saisi forcés de nouveaux territoires. Ils, sans un droit, ont devenu des marchés de la vente et ont été soumis d’un processus d’intégration systémique et vite dans la composition de l’Empire.

Selon les sources historiques, dans la réalisation du commerce russe avec la Principauté de Moldavie comme point de transition a servi la Bessarabie. L‘annexassions de la Bessarabie, représentant une politique de domination et de contrôle rigide à la nouvelle frontière.

La limite supérieure chronologique (1812) désigne les tendances annexionnistes de la politique russe qui établira un nouveau rapport des relations commerciales avec la Principauté de Moldavie L’emplacement de la frontière au Prut et Danube aussi bien que la mise en place d’une nouvelle organisation douanière et sanitaire de frontière avec la Principauté de Moldavie (1817), a conduit à l’influence de l’administration russe dans ces territoires. L’adoption des tarifs douaniers de 186, 1819, 1822 dénote le passage du libéralisme au protectionnisme dans la politique commerciale de la Russie avec les pays étrangers.

La limite inférieure chronologique (1825) confirme la mise en œuvre par l’Empire Russe du Règlement concernant le commerce avec la Bessarabie, qui servait non seulement le territoire de transit de marchandises russes, mais comme source de marchandises besarabenes pour le marché moldave.

La rédaction des actes normatifs ont servi de la Russie non seulement pour augmenter le balance du commerce extérieur, mais pour réussir à la concurrence économique.
