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 process of formation of the schooling system in Bessarabia during this period is characterized by the following features: a) In comparison with the tendencies of scholarship development in other regions of Russian Empire it appears to be more accelerated, due to geo-strategical interests of the government in the newly annexed territory b) Despite of government policy of conservatism in education and other spheres of life, in Bessarabia in an accelerated tempo were instituted from 1827 Lancastrian schools, that were teaching with innovative methods, from 1828 district schools, and in 1833 a Regional Lyceum in Chisinau.
Our researches showed that the education in Bessarabia evolved under direct political and ideological influence of Russian Empire. Thus based on archival and published materials we may ascertain that educational system in Bessarabia formed under general and moment needs of Russian government. Textually the educational regulations imposed in Bessarabia were identical to those Russian laws. The school represented the prototype of Russian school but initially with two languages of teaching. Still in 1870s only the Russian language remained, Romanian being completely excluded.
As a conclusion the educational system implemented in Bessarabia was conceived as a mechanism of Russification of local population.
