Recently, near a wooded heights, I've discovered traces of three overlapping historical periods :
a.) Middle Bronze Age period (XIV-XVI centuries B.C.) - A bronze deposit consists of a spearhead and a decorated disc-butted ax, which they were probably hidden by a Bronze Age warrior, and probably had ritual role.The objects were placed side by side and were discovered quite difficult and carefully to avoid damaging them, because they were covered half of their length by a deformed root of a beech.In Romania they were found very few such axes decorated.They were made and decorated using the lost wax method.For those who are interested, posted a series of photos of the objects, including details of decoration, some of the images being edited size in millimeters, for a better understanding of sizes.
b.) Roman period (II-III centuries A.D.) - Knife blades, iron keys, iron brooch, nails, bronze fragment, Hadrianus (117-138 A.D.) bronze sestertius, mint in Rome 134-138 A.D. : HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P, laureate and draped bust right / ADVENTVI AVG HISPANIAE, Hadrian, standing right, raising right hand, facing Hispaniae, standing left, holding patera in right hand, branch in left hand; altar and sacrificial victim between them. SC in exergue.
c.) Middle Ages (XVII-XVIII centuries A.D.) - Spurs, arrowheads of various types, wood processing tools, bit, sickle, buckles, engraved bronze ring that belonged to a knight.

Enjoy :hello:

I'm sort of the opinion that that ring is probably one of the most amazing things I have seen. Brilliant!
 

Definitely banner worthy... just now saw this.
Amazing.
 

amazing to see such engravings

Take $ 150?
 

Just amazing finds my friend! :occasion14:
Just incredible finds and they're exactly where they deserve to be... on the BANNER!!! :wav:

Congratulations,
Dave
 

Wow! I cannot even imagine finding something like that bronze ax. Very beautifully decorated and incredibly rare. Congratulations!! :occasion14:

Steve
 

Awsome finds bud :thumbsup: congratulations on a great day!
 

wow, is all i can say, and i was confused by the pdf, i got it now
the disc-butted axes of the Bronze Age, were a type of multi tool
weapon in one, that demonstrated your prestige and rank to own
such a weapon/tool, i think
BRONZE AGE DISC BUTTED SHAFTHOLE AXE

Thanks for your link.Beautiful ax.
Here's an ax almost identical but with disc and spin discovered in the west part of Romania (Maramureş county).I saw a few years ago at an exhibition at Cluj...

Unbelievable finds! A hearty congratulations. However, when reading the section on the Roman Period where you are, I am thinking, talking about coins

(Hadrianus (117-138 A.D.) bronze sestertius, mint in Rome 134-138 A.D. : HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P, laureate and draped bust right / ADVENTVI AVG HISPANIAE, Hadrian, standing right, raising right hand, facing Hispaniae, standing left, holding patera in right hand, branch in left hand; altar and sacrificial victim between them. SC in exergue.)

I sure am glad all I have to type is "found a mercury dime" and be done with the description. LOL I would also add that if you do not have a mercury dime in your collection I would offer to trade you one for one of those coins.
 

So lovely , one can only imagine the man made maker crafting this piece in its day and setting .
And I like knifes but not anymore dude Thanks .
 

I wonder if the warrior owner was buried nearby? Or maybe his body was burned in a funeral pyre? Maybe he died from a battle with a Roman soldier? It is an excellent find!

The owner may be close to where we found the bronze objects.Even where we found the objects could be a grave.He could be killed in a battle between warriors from different communities of the Middle Bronze Age.The period of Roman domination begins only after 1,500 years since come these bronze objects.At about 1 km from the place of discovery, we identified a small height which I think is a burial mound and there can be buried as an important person of that era, probably a high-ranking leader.Archaeologists will study all that area and say their opinion ...
 

That's pretty darn amazing! Congratulations.
 

I don't post much these days, but couldn't ignore this superb find.:thumbsup: Well done on a fantastic find, great pictures and making the banner.:thumbsup:

Those right there are some of the most interesting things I've ever seen posted on this site. Congratulations, both on the finds and on the banner spot!!!

:thumbsup:
 

Humbling finds. I was happy with some wheaties today. Easy to see why this is up top. Congrats!
 

I am flabbergasted. I love everything. The ring is awesome. I am going to reproduce that for myself as a broach and a scarf tie. Congrats
 

Wow!
Whatta load of history you got there!
Fantastic! Beautiful stuff!
Good work on the illustrations, too! :icon_thumright:
