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.

Lawsuits initiated against participants of resistance movement from postwar Moldova

Tyragetia, serie nouă, vol. IV [XIX], nr. 2, Istorie. Muzeologie

In this article the author returns to the red terror and anti-Soviet resistance in postwar Moldova. The numerous judiciary processes set up by soviet authorities against the participants and supporters of anti-Soviet and anticommunist resistance are in focus. The essence of Soviet justice came out to light during the lawsuits, along the cruelty and lack of humanity with regard to the opponents of the regime. Victims of unfair lawsuits turned up to hundreds and thousands of men who dared to go against the political terror and economical exploitation promoted by communist party and Soviet power on occupied territory of Bessarabia. All leaders and active members of the anti-Soviet organizations operating in the first postwar years were convicted under the accusation of “treason” to either death or 25 years of prison. The drastic measures applied to the participants of anti-Soviet and anticommunist resistance were aimed, besides physical and moral destruction, at disseminating fear amongst local population and making them more loyal to the Soviet regime also.
