Summary/Abstract: With the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867, Transylvania was reunited with Hungary. The study presents the way Hungarians from Transylvania celebrated the event, and analyzes the symbolic visualization of the union, of the newly created unity. The analysis focuses on different aspects of the subject: the adopted rhetoric, the use of the flags and of the national colours, the conflicts on coat of arms and boundary-marks; all that in the eyes of the authorities had to reflect the new situation.
