The typewriter features a standard carriage mounted on ball bearings and rollers, along with a keyboard equipped with 42 keys. These contain two complete sets of Latin and Cyrillic alphabets, punctuation marks, numbers, and mathematical symbols, enabling the typing of 126 characters. Beneath the metal casing, the type bars are arranged in a fan-like pattern, holding embossed characters and ink ribbon rollers. When the keys are pressed, the type bars strike the inked ribbon, imprinting characters onto the paper tensioned in the machine's roller system. The side panels are elegantly decorated with refined cast-iron elements in the Art Nouveau style, displaying the brand name - "Ideal." The Polyglott model, featuring a bilingual keyboard patented in the United Kingdom by Max Klaczko from Riga, Latvia, was produced between 1902 and 1913, marking the first typewriter capable of writing in two languages. The "Ideal Polyglott" typewriter was actively sold in the Russian Empire and gained significant popularity in Poland, Bulgaria, and Serbia. The typewriter - a mechanical device used for printing text directly onto paper - ranks among the most important inventions of the modern era, as it revolutionized communication. From the late 19th century to the early 21st century, it became an indispensable tool, widely used by writers, in offices, for business correspondence, and in private homes. The peak of typewriter sales occurred in the 1950s when the average annual sales in the United States reached 12 million units. In November 2012, the British Brother factory produced what it claimed to be the last typewriter, which was donated to the Science Museum in London. The advent of computers, word processing software, printers, and the decreasing cost of these technologies led to the typewriter's disappearance from the mainstream market, turning it into a museum exhibit. June 23 marks Typewriter Day, commemorating the date when American journalist and inventor Christopher Latham Sholes patented his typewriter. This day celebrates the simple yet revolutionary device that has become history, as well as the remarkable literary achievements it has enabled since 1868.
La politique de l'empereur Flavius Valens au Bas-Danube 364-370. La perte de la Dacie meridionale
Tyragetia, serie nouă, vol. VI [XXI], nr. 1, Arheologie. Istorie Antică
La période de paix d’entre l’Empire Romain-Byzantin et les Visigoths du nord du Danube instaurée par le foedus imposé aux Germaniques par Constantin le Grand en 332, pris fin au début du règne de l’empereur Flavius Valens. Avec les forces militaires redressées, les Vizigoths redevenaient un péril pour les provinces balkaniques de l’Empire Romain-Byzantin. Pour finir ces choses, Valens organise contre les Vizigoths une campagne militaire qui va durer pendant trois ans (367-369). Les résultats médiocres obtenus par l’empéreur pendant les confrontations avec les Vizigoths du nord du Danube, conduits par le roi Athanarich, en 367 et 369 l’ont déterminé achever une nouvelle paix avec le chef barbar. La paix achevée pendant l’été de l’an 369 à Noviodunum annulait le foedus de 332. les Vizigoths cessaient d’être considérés des foederati de l’Empire Romain-Byzantin, qui renoncait aussi à sa possession de la Dace méridionale.
