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 conditions of the marriage concluding in the Middle Ages. Comparative study
Tyragetia, serie nouă, vol. I [XVI], nr. 2, Istorie. Muzeologie Chișinău, 2007
We tend to notice that the limited framework of a magazine article doesn’t allow us to reflect all progress that this problem is supporting. In addition we would like to say that the fact of studying the institution problem of marriage is rather little researched in the respective literature. Besides, the family problem in the old juridical conception represents as much interest for our past acquaintance as for the future suggestions.
Finally, to conclude what has been written earlier: • for concluding the marriage in the Middle Ages it was necessary to accomplish several conditions that were proper as for the written legislation so as for the law traditions; • as our factological material shows us, the conditions of concluding the marriage in different countries were almost the same; • the marriage was the legal act of bringing into being a family and it was celebrating in public, in font of the church authorities.
