The 21 beads form part of a bronze hoard found in 2019 within a forested area close to the town of Nisporeni. Alongside the beads, the hoard included numerous bronze ornaments (2 Röschitz-Sanislău-type fibulae, 7 necklaces, 12 rings, 22 tubes, 23 bracelets, and approximately 80 appliqués), one coral bead and a pendant made from a wild animal's tooth. At present, the amber beads are preserved in the collections of the Muzeul Național de Istorie a Moldovei, while the remainder of the hoard is in the possession of a private collector.
The hoard was discovered accidentally in a pit about 50 cm deep. The objects in this hoard are of Western origin, with known parallels in archaeological complexes from Poland, Hungary, Serbia, and Slovakia, and, to a lesser extent, in Romania. The presence of this bronze hoard on the territory of the Republic of Moldova illustrates the cultural dynamics of the region during the Early Iron Age and a fundamental shift in the vector of cultural influences from east to west.
The amber bead strand comprises 16 whole beads and five fragmentary ones. They have an elongated biconical shape and vary in size. The beads are brown-reddish in color; their lengths range from 1.1 to 3.1 cm, widths from 0.6 to 1.4 cm, thicknesses from 0.6 to 1.1 cm, and the perforation diameter ranges between 0.2 and 0.3 cm.
Amber beads appear in several bronze hoards dated to the Late Bronze Age in the eastern half of Slovakia and in Transdanubian Hungary. Parallels are also known from the Cioclovina Cave in Romania. With the onset of the Iron Age, amber items disappear from the Carpathian Basin for approximately 300 years, reappearing alongside the arrival of Scythian elements.
The bronze hoard discovered at Nisporeni is dated to the HaA2-HaB1-2 interval (1050/1000 - 800/750 B.C.).

Centuriations romaines dans la plaine de Venise

Tyragetia, serie nouă, vol. VI [XXI], nr. 1, Arheologie. Istorie Antică

Cette contribution porte sur la dynamique des centuriations d’origine romaine de la plaine centrale de Venise, limitée par la lagune et les Alpes d’une part, les fleuves Brenta et Piave de l’autre. Il s’agit d’évaluer la nature des interactions entre les morphologies agraires héritées de l’arpentage antique et les sociétés historiques, médiévales et modernes, qui intègrent, en le transformant, l’héritage antique.

Liste des figures:

Fig. 1. Organisation théorique d’une centuriation de 20 actus de module (710 m) et disposition des coordonnées de deux centuries. Deux modes de division interne sont proposés.
Fig. 2. a - Miniatures des manuscrits Arcerianus (en haut) et Palatinus (en bas). Elles représentent la ville de co- lonia Iulia édifiée dans une plaine délimitée par la mer et une chaîne montagneuse. Le territoire est divisé par une centuriation dont les deux axes majeurs se croisent au centre de la ville; b - Cippe gromatique de Grantorto (Cittadella). Il s’agit d’un parallélépipède de plus de 1,60 m de haut portant un decussis sur la tranche et le texte iuss(u) ter(minus) n(ovatus) / U(ltra) K(ardinem) VII; sur le flanc S(inistra) D(ecumanum) VIII. Il est daté du Ier s. ap. J.-C. et indique l’intersection du decumanus VIII à gauche du decumanus maximus et du kardo VII au-delà du kardo maximus.
