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.
Les carreaux des poêles avec l’images heraldiques de Căușeni
Tyragetia, serie nouă, vol. III [XVIII], nr. 1, Arheologie. Istorie Antică
Ayant comme point de départ la découverte des poêles aux carreaux avec l’image de l’aigle bicéphale sur la cheminée dans une hutte médiévale de Căușeni, on effectue dans l’étude l’analyse de l’origine, de l’évolution et de la diffusion de l’image sur des piéces archeologiques de l’éspace est-carpathique.
On arrive à la conclusion que les poêles representent un indice incontestable de la croissance de la vie économique et du niveau de l’habitat, des tendences vers le confort des classes privilégiées de la population roumaine de l’est des Carpathes au cours des premières siècles du II millénium notre ère.
On propose de nombreuses analogies de l’éspace circumcarpathique, des régions circumméditerannéennes, en commençant par la période du haut Moyen Âge, quand l’image reçoit diffusion dans différentes Cours royales de l’Europe.
