Summary/Abstract: As the result of the most recent field research conducted in the area of the fortified acropolis at „Cetate” („Dealul Cetăţii”) at Şimleu Silvaniei (Sălaj district), there has been discovered a handle of a Roman bronze pot. Most probably the object has been discovered after the corrosion of the Terrace 1, an objective situated below the Dacian circumvallation from the upper part of the hill. The respective Terracepresented an important degree of occupation, consisting of no less than seven levels of occupation, and has been dismantled as a consequence of the construction of the circumvallation.
