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.

Tyragetia, serie nouă, vol. VI [XXI], nr. 2, Istorie. Muzeologie
The subject of this paper is a study of posters from the collections of NMAHM. There were selected and studied about 100 objects belonging to the time of the Civil War (1918-1920) and the interwar period (1922-1939). Among the authors of these posters there are the renowned artists A. Apsit, V. Deni, and D. Moor.
Most of the posters are originals that illustrate a series of events of the time. By content they can be categorized by the criteria of themes and types. Thus, in terms of types the posters can be divided into political, military, economic, and educational.
In terms of themes they can be divided into four categories. Posters in the first category reflect activity of the Communist party, the struggle for Soviet power, the alliance of peasants and workers. The second category includes the posters on activity of the Red Army, the fight against foreign intervention, the fight against desertion. The third category combines the posters on agriculture, collectivization, and the fight against hunger. The last category in- cludes the posters on public education.
In conclusion of the research of this part of the collections of NMAHM, it should be stated that posters are of particular importance for the study of the period of 1918-1939.
