The bronze hoard was discovered on the territory of Mîndrești village, Telenești district, in 1968. It was identified accidentally by a group of students from the village school, and the materials later came to the attention of specialists at the Institute of History of the Academy of Sciences. According to documentary records, the hoard was composed of ten pieces: four socketed axes (celts), a dagger fragment, a sword fragment, a sickle, a winged axe, an adze-axe, and a chain consisting of four links. Currently, of the mentioned assemblage, six objects are preserved in the collections of the National Museum of History of Moldova: two socketed axes (celts), the winged axe, the adze-axe, the dagger fragment, and the chain made of four links.- Socketed axe (celt) with one loop.

Dimensions: Length - 17.1 cm; Link diameter - 3.8; Weight - 32 g.The bronze hoard of Mîndrești is important due to the association of objects that find analogies in the regional repertoire with pieces that show clear analogies in Central Europe and the Carpathian Basin. The assemblage reflects a zone of contact and interaction where metallic forms of different origins and traditions circulated and were integrated into the repertoire of local communities. Chronologically, the bronze hoard of Mîndrești is attributed to the Early Hallstatt period - HaA1, being dated to 1200-1100 BC.
The army as an important factor of social mobility in Roman Empire

Армия как важный фактор социальной мобильности в Римской империи
Римское государство – одно из величайших европейских цивилизаций, просуществовавших наиболее дли- тельное время (754/753 гг. до н.э. – 476 н.э.). Можно привести немало факторов и причин упадка Римской империи. Однако ещë труднее установить причины столь длительного существования древнего римского государства, римской культуры и цивилизации. Среди таких факторов можно назвать высокую римскую культуру и важность предоставления членам местной и провинциальной элиты римского гражданства. Армия, которая силой оружья создала и сохранила Римскую империю, является также основным факторам. Однако римскую армию следует рассматривать и как важный фактор вертикальной социальной мобильности. Римская империя никогда не пыталась создать кастовую систему (как в древней Индии), в которой был бы невозможен социальный рост. Соображения демографического характера создали необходимость социальной мобильности и продвижения членов нижних социальных слоëв в социальную и политическую элиту Римской империи. Это в особенности было возможно для офицеров, служивших в самых лучших римских армиях – таких, как в провинциях Нижнего Подунавья (Дакия, Мезия и Паннония).
