The Brăviceni cemetery (Orhei county, Republic of Moldova) is among the important archaeological discoveries of a Sântana de Mureş-Černjachov type in the Prut-Nistru area. Discovered in the winter of 1977, due to some building activites, this funeral complex was investigated by Vasile Grosu in 1977, 1980 and 1981. He discovered 181 (?) graves and among them 1 of cremation and 180 of inhumation, as well as 53 pits with cult characteristics. Like other Sântana de Mureş-Černjachov necropolis, the majority of the inhumation graves at Brăviceni belong to two main orientations, W–E and N–S, respectively, each of them showing slight deviations. The proportions of the two categories of graves differ very much, the W–E oriented ones being more numerous. It was established that, of 160 funeral complexes with a precise orientation, 89, that is, 55,6%, are W–E oriented, and 56, representing 35%, are N–S oriented. In addition, 6 graves were placed NE–SW, 6 – NW–SE, 2 – E–W and 1 – S–N. The depth of the Brăviceni W–E oriented graves vary very much, from 0.4 to 2.7 m, with reference to the present surface of the ground. By calculating the average depths of the graves with a W–E orientation and of those oriented N–S, we have established that they are not bigger for the first category of inhumations, although the difference among them is not as clear as it is in other similar necropolis. The problematic of the W–E oriented Sântana de Mureş–Černjachov culture graves is of special interest for the research of some spiritual phenomena, which took place, during the 4th century CE and at the beginning of the next, among these numerous communities most which were probably ethnically mixed. It is a known fact that W–E oriented graves were unearthed already during the first investigations in the cemeteries of both eponymous sites, Sântana de Mureş and Černjachov, respectively, as well as in the Romaški necropolis. However, graves of that type have been found and interpreted as a separate funerary group only as late as the 1950s, when E. Symonovič studied and published the data from excavations in the Danilova Balka and Gavrilovka cemeteries. As far as we are concerned, the hypothesis of a Christian belonging of inhumations belonging to the Sântana de Mureş–Černjachov culture that were described above appears to be the most plausible one, although finds that could decisively sustain such a conclusion are still missing. The orientation of burials in keeping with a W–E axis and the general absence of food offerings in the graves of Gothia and of the former Dacia province is the main argument at hand that supports our conclusions. Another important argument indicating a Christian belonging for W–E oriented graves of the Sântana de Mureş–Černjachov culture is their dating. On the basis of recent finds, the earliest W–E oriented graves appeared approximately in the middle of the 4th century CE, they became more frequent in the following decades, and especially towards the end of that century and during the next. Although, in a limited number, there are literary attestations of the conversion to Christianity of „barbarians” north of the Lower Danube in the period after the great invasion of Huns (375–376). The sources under discussion indicate that Christian missionary work continued successfully in that area towards the end of the 4th century CE and at the beginning of the next. The written documents regarding the spreading of Christianity in Gothia could be considered as solid arguments in favor of the idea that the W–E oriented graves of the Brăviceni cemetery and of other cemeteries of the Sântana de Mureş–Černjachov culture belonged to Christians. Nevertheless, several aspects linked to those funerary complexes, such as ethnic and chronological affiliations, still remain subjects for future investigations.

In the Middle Ages the theme of Slavic unity was not developed. It was discussed by intellectuals of that time in two directions: 1) the unity of origin; 2) unity of faith. In the Early New Time, in the period of the formation of the Slavic early modern nations, these ethnogenetic legends were connected with the history of local national herous, dominated over the discourse of the Slavic Unity. The idea of Slavic unity gets explosive development in the late XVIII±XIX centuries. It was connected with the growth of the national liberation movement. The twentieth century with two world wars, two Balkan wars, a Soviet-Polish war, etc., when the Slavic peoples found themselves on different sides of the front, and a short period of existence of national states Eastern Europe (1918±1939) brought disunity to the Slavic world. About his imaginary unity only cultural memory remained. Then a brief outburst of the unification of the Slavs was associated with the Soviet project of the “belt” of socialist countries (or “cordon countries”, as it was called in the West), was kept at the will of the USSR and quickly ceased to exist with its disintegration in 1991. Medieval symbols and images in the 20th cent. worked more for national projects than on the idea of Slavic integration. The 21th century brought the Slavic idea by postmodern deconstruction. The Slavic idea today has lost its positions and holds a secondary existence as an idea of a cultural and shrinking memory of the past.

The great Pannonian Rebellion, the Bellum Batonianum of AD 6 – 9 was one of the most significant events, if not the most significant one in the history of Roman dealings with Illyricum. Its significance went far beyond local, provincial history, shaping the future foreign policy conduct of the Empire in the early principate, and perhaps, combined with the clades Variana in the Teutoburg forest, stopped Roman political and military expansion in North and Central Europe. For the first time in many years, even Italy was in fear from the external enemy. This was the first rebellion of this kind after the end of the Republic that seriously undermined the Roman confidence and even shook their position and prestige in recently occupied territories. The bibliography of the works dealing with the reconstruction of the events that happened in Illyricum AD 6 – 9 and the search for their causes and consequences is not too extensive.

Its huge area of cultivated lands (about 5 million hectares) makes Serbia stand out against other states of the Balkan region. Food products are still one of the most important components of Serbian export. From 1 March 2012, when Serbia was granted the candidate status to the European Union, making ready to effectively competite with the Member States of the EU, which offer very similar products, became a chance of survival for Serbia’s agricultural and –food industry sector . A chance to increase the absorbency of the internal market creates an increasing culinary awareness in the Serbian society; despite the economic crisis, the Serbians are looking for new, previously unknown tastes or new taglines for tastes already known in Serbian cuisine. The real challenge for Serbian agriculture is the promotion of culinary tourism, which involves exhibiting the ability to compete with other Balkan countries by depicting a more diverse range of attractions.Promotion of the regional products is done by events typical for culinary tourism – festivals, culinary competitions, culinary tourist routes, as well as reconstructions of medieval cuisine. In the realities of Serbia, culinary tourism opens the opportunities for sustainable development of the periphery areas and, at the same time, makes it possible to retain old customs and traditions.

The Austrian Museum of Folk Life and Folk Art in Vienna was founded in 1895. From the beginning, ceramics were collected. Today, the ceramic collections include about 15,000 objects, of which more than 300 are faiences most probably originating from the west of Slovakia. About 70 of these are from the 17th century and about 80 from the 18th century. Many of the objects entered the collections in the early years of the museum through donations and purchases. An important patron was the art historian Alfred Ritter Walcher von Molthein (1867–1928). He was one of the 19th century researchers and collectors who started the Haban myth about the Hutterites. Between 1974 and 2008, the Austrian Museum of Folk Life and Folk Art had a branch museum in Burgenland, the Ethnographic Museum in Kittsee Castle. During restoration work on the castle, shards were found that are known as the Kittseer Kellerfund (Kittsee cellar find).

The Castle of Regéc, located in what is today Northeastern Hungary, is one of the largest fortresses built at the turn of the 13th and 14th century. The fortified castle has a complex history; in the post-mediaeval era, several noble and aristocratic families owned it (among others, the Alaghy, Mágóchy, Esterházy, and Rákóczi families). As the Haban wares became increasingly popular in the 17th century in the western, northeastern, and eastern areas of the Carpathian Basin, this type of ceramic can be found at Regéc as well. Besides the numerous small potsherds and stove tiles, a plate and many fragments of a unique type of floor brick have been excavated. The latter two objects were selected for the present study, which will perhaps show that besides the traditional art historical analysis of ceramics stored in museums or private collections, it is just as important to make comparative studies to evaluate the historical archaeological material. The present study gives an introduction to the selected material. The Haban plate, dated to 1659 by its inscription, is a unique piece; similar types can be found in some collections. The type of decorated floor bricks is possibly the only identified masterpiece of Haban craftsmen among those that have been found in the region.
