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.

The issue of the woman in the conception of political history presents both suggestions or a new vision in history as interest towards acknowledgment of the past. It is worth mentioning also, that in this short study one has made an attempt to change the historical accents, in other words, one has proposed to filtrate the political history through the feminine perception. Unfortunately, history feminine theme was rejected many years and only in the last decade was deeply researched by the colleges in Romania. Without pretending to fully solve the problem, one considers indisputable that without studying the history of vision as a whole might be unilateral. In this way, the respective study is just an attempt of treating a very delicate issue-the role of the woman in determining the ruling dynasties in Medieval Moldova and the regency of the ladies. The documentary of the questioned era reflects the situation and the position of women. In the continuity of the dynasties, a leading role have played the ladies. In addition, historical facts show that some ladies from Medieval Moldova were true historical figures.
