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.

Despite the relatively large number of publications devoted to the life and activity of the Metropolitan Gabriel Banulescu-Bodoni, it should be noted that not all aspects of his activity were examined.
In this article, the author attempted to show another side of the multifaceted activity of the Metropolitan Gabriel Banulescu-Bodoni, namely that witch is related with his pastoral-social service.
For an objective study of this problem, author has analyzed a set of archival documents that allowed to show the efforts of Metropolitan Gabriel in arrangement of the Kiev shelter for widows and orphans of the clerics; attempts to establish a new system for the maintenance of the clergy of the Kiev Diocese; introduction of a special regime for lawsuits over clergy of the Moldo-Wallachian exarchate; reducing the tax burden for clergy, arrangement of the new temples and help Balkan fellow believers etc.
All of this will enrich the knowledge of such an important personality who left a deep imprint in the history of the Romanian, Ukrainian and Russian peoples.
