DESPRE CETATEA ALBA IULIA

Alba Iulia are o rezonan magic n istoriografia
noastr, cu o ncrctur material i spiritual creia nu i
putem opune nimic comparabil. Prin incredibila
continuitate de locuire, att de evident din epoca roman
i pn n prezent, prin refolosirea castrului roman pn n
jurul anului 1700, prin faptul c n mod repetat a fost un
centru de putere pentru o regiune cu limite geografice
variabile, Alba Iulia este fr ndoial un sit unic. Cele mai
semnificative momente din istoria acestor inuturi izvorsc
sau cel puin graviteaz n jurul Albei: a fost ntr-o
perioad locul cel mai important al provinciei romane, a
fost centrul unei formaiuni politice locale i poate al
voievodatului Transilvaniei, a jucat un rol strategic n
extinderea regatului maghiar n zon, devenind sediul
Episcopiei catolice a Transilvaniei, apoi centrul politic al
principatului i unul dintre cele mai importante centre
militare habsburgice - pentru a nu puncta dect acele
momente de vrf pn n zorii epocii moderne.
Cetatea propriu-zis i are nceputurile certe n
epoca roman, cnd pe terasa nalt a Mureului, ntr-un
loc ales cu o inspiraie desvrit, s-a nceput edificarea
castrului Legiunii XIII Gemina, ce avea s devin cea mai
important fortificaie roman din Dacia.
Dup abandonarea provinciei, viaa a continuat
att n interiorul fortificaiei ct i n exterior, fiind
documentate numeroase vestigii din perioada postroman pn n sec. al XI-lea. Urme de locuire din sec.
VIII-IX au fost identificate i pe teritoriul cetii, iar
numeroasele descoperiri funerare atest i ele o
continuitate de locuire, o populaie dens i majoritar
cretin nc din secolul al IX-lea.
Amplasarea strategic ntr-o zon foarte circulat,
prezena nc impuntoare a fortificaiei albe, faptul c
avea aproape o tradiie ca i centru de putere, acestea i
probabil altele care ne scap au determinat regalitatea
maghiar s fac din Alba un important punct de sprijin

pentru extinderea i organizarea sa. Aici au fost
concentrate cele mai importante forme de administraie
precum i cele de organizare ecleziastic: sediul episcopiei
Transilvaniei, cetate regal, centrul celui mai ntins comitat
i foarte probabil sediul oficial al primilor voievozi.
nfiinarea episcopiei este atribuit n mod
tradiional regelui tefan I (1009), dar primul episcop
menionat n documente este abia Simion n anul 1111.
Primele construcii legate de episcopie reprezint un
subiect asupra cruia literatura de specialitate nu s-a pus
n totalitate de acord. Se pare c primul lca de cult a fost
o bisericu-sal construit pe platoul din faa catedralei
actuale n secolul al XI-lea. n secolul urmtor a funcionat
o catedral edificat n stil romanic, avnd pe partea
sudic o rotond-baptisteriu, iar nainte de anul 1200 a fost
deschis antierul catedralei actuale. n legtur cu acestea
s-au dezvoltat celelalte construcii care fac posibil
funcionarea unei instituii de acest rang, n principal
palatul episcopal i anexele sale.
Prima meniune a cetii medievale dateaz din
1206, dar ce nsemna exact termenul de cetate n acel
moment istoric, rmne deocamdat mai mult o ntrebare.
Faptul c la mijlocul secolului al XIII-lea la Alba Iulia nu
exista o cetate puternic rezult de altfel i din uurina cu
care ttarii au ocupat-o provocndu-i distrugeri
catastrofale.
Cercettorii sunt de acord c fortificaia medieval
a suprapus castrul roman n diferite proporii. Iniial, este
foarte probabil c locuirea medieval s-a dezvoltat n
special n colul de sud-vest al acestuia, izolndu-se un
perimetru mai mic, care putea fi aprat mai uor. n anul
1349 este de altfel menionat cetatea sus zisei biserici
din Alba Iulia, ceea ce sugereaz de asemenea o zon
restrns n jurul catedralei i palatului episcopal. La
mijlocul sec. XV este menionat n documente cetatea de
la Alba Iulia prevzut cu ziduri i anuri, iar n 1461 sunt
menionate porile de pe laturile de est (poarta Sf.
Gheorghe, numit poarta capitlului) i de vest (poarta Sf.

Mihail, a episcopului), ceea ce arat extinderea fortificaiei
spre nord i est, pn la o limit ce nu o putem preciza, dar
o presupunem identic cu cea roman.
De la mijlocul sec. al XVI-lea Alba Iulia a devenit
n mod firesc centrul principatului Transilvaniei, iar prin
secularizare proprietile episcopiei au revenit principelui.
Dup aceast dat informaiile noastre despre cetate
sporesc considerabil, pe baza documentelor scrise i a
releveelor. Cele din urm sunt de altfel i cele mai
importante izvoare pentru istoria cetii n veacurile XVIXVIII, n mod special cele datorate lui Luigi Ferdinando
Marsigli (1687), Giovanni Morando Visconti (1711) i
Conrad Ferdinand Weiss (1736).
n epoca principatului s-a avut n vedere un
proiect grandios de fortificare, cu platforme de pmnt
pentru tunuri n cele patru coluri i un eventual bastion
pentagonal n colul de sud-vest, dar lucrrile se pare c au
fost doar ncepute pe latura sudic. Cetatea a suferit mai
multe distrugeri n anii 1600-1603, n legtur cu
evenimentele promovate de Mihai Viteazul, i a rmas n
paragin pn n timpul principelui Gabriel Bethlen, care
s-a ocupat de refacerea i ntrirea fortificaiilor nc de la
nceputul domniei. Cea mai fastuoas realizare a acestui
principe se regsete ns n remodelarea palatului
episcopal care a fost extins spre est i transformat ntr-un
monumental palat princiar. Lucrrile au fost continuate i
de urmaii si, prima jumtate a sec. XVII fiind ntr-adevr
o perioad de maxim dezvoltare a cetii i mai ales a
acelor cldiri ce ne intereseaz aici n mod deosebit. Din
pcate aceast strlucire a avut o existen scurt, cetatea i
cldirile fiind grav afectate de atacul turcesc din 1658 i de
cele care i-au urmat n 1661 i 1662. Cronicarii au fost
impresionai de distrugerile masive petrecute ntr-un timp
relativ scurt, n urma crora cetatea rmas n paragin nu
i-a mai revenit niciodat, astfel c principele Mihail Apafi
a preferat s locuiasc la Fgra.
10
Starea cetii de la finele secolului al XVII-lea poate

fi reconstituit pe baza releveului din 1687. Fortificaia de
form ptrat o suprapunea fr ndoial pe cea roman,
refolosind chiar o parte dintre turnurile ei. Pe latura de sud
se afl cele dou bastioane din etapa Bethlen iar pe latura
de nord sunt desenate dou turnuri interioare cu plan
rectangular. n aceast form se prezenta cetatea atunci
cnd a fost cedat armatei habsburgice n 1687 (tratatul de
la Blaj), cu puin timp nainte de deschiderea antierului
fortificaiei n stil Vauban.
Planurile pentru realizarea acesteia au fost
aprobate n 1714 iar lucrrile efective au fost ncepute la 4
noiembrie 1715, n prezena generalului Steinville.
Fortificaia medieval a fost n mare parte distrus, ca de
altfel i o parte a oraului. Din amenajrile defensive
anterioare s-a pstrat latura de sud cu cele dou bastioane,
parial afectate de includerea lor n sistemul Vauban, iar
din latura de vest doar acele fragmente ce coincid cu
peretele palatului episcopal. Colul de sud-vest,
corespunznd complexului romano-catolic (actuala
catedral i palatul episcopal) a traversat aceast epoc
fr deranjamente majore i a rmas pn astzi podoaba
cea mai important a cetii.
DESPRE CERCETRILE
ARHEOLOGICE
Lucrrile de restaurare efectuate n anii 2000-2008
asupra cldirilor ce aparin Arhiepiscopiei romano-catolice
au fost asistate de o echip de arheologi, care s-a ngrijit de
ocrotirea, cercetarea i gestionarea patrimoniului
arheologic din colul sud-vestic al cetii Alba Iulia. Nu s-a
realizat o cercetare arheologic propriu-zis, sistematic,
care s urmreasc obiective tiinifice organiznd o
sptur coerent, ci doar investigaii minimale specifice
monumentelor istorice. Programul cercetrilor a fost
mereu dependent de celelalte lucrri, de prioritile
antierului de restaurare, de refacerea sistemului de
instalaii i de reorganizarea terenului din jurul catedralei.
Interveniile efectuate sub nivelul terenului au fost de
obicei precedate de o cercetare arheologic preventiv i
deseori supravegheate de specialiti pn la finalizare.
antierul a debutat n anul 2000, cnd principalul
front de lucru s-a aflat n interiorul turnului de nord-vest
al catedralei, cteva sondaje fiind de asemenea efectuate pe
latura de sud a sacristiei i pe faada dinspre catedral a
palatului. Campania din anul 2001 s-a desfurat n dou
etape, concentrat fiind n principal n aceleai sectoare,
sacristia catedralei i faada nordic a palatului episcopal.
Spturi ample s-au desfurat n anul 2002 pe faada
nordic a palatului episcopal, legate de amenajarea unui
dren i de refacerea canalizrilor pluviale. Aceast
campanie a fost deosebit de important deoarece, prin
desfacerea unor suprafee mai mari, s-a permis
arheologilor s acumuleze un set amplu de informaii pe
baza crora a fost construit matricea stratigrafic a sitului.
n anul 2003 s-a lucrat n exteriorul sacristiei
baroce, ale crei fundaii au fost subzidite, iar n 2004 a fost
finalizat cercetarea acestei ncperi prin spturi
interioare. n acelai an s-a efectuat un prim sondaj n
interiorul capelei Lzai i au fost realizate cteva spturi

pe latura de sud a palatului episcopal, n grdina acestuia.
Anul 2007 a adus o alt ocazie favorabil
arheologiei, datorit spturilor extinse din jurul catedralei
i dintre aceasta i palat pentru refacerea canalizrii
principale. Excavaiile realizate de constructor pe traseul
vechii canalizri, au fost supravegheate arheologic; n
condiiile descoperirii unor vestigii, sptura a fost uor
extins pentru delimitarea i nregistrarea corect a
acestora. Traseele noi, inclusiv racordurile dinspre cldirile
palatului princiar (cazarma) au fost precedate de o
cercetare preventiv. Campania din anul 2008 s-a limitat la
interiorul palatului episcopal, fiind cercetat corpul cel mai
vechi al acestuia, care poate fi pus n relaie direct cu
nceputurile episcopiei.
Pe ansamblu, n cei 10 ani de la re-deschiderea
antierului arheologic, au fost cercetate suprafee mici,
limitate cu mare strictee la interesul general al cldirilor
episcopale. Dei acestea abia se observ pe un plan general
al sitului, rezultatele obinute au fost consistente:
numeroase vestigii, fie ele ruine, morminte, straturi,
complexe sau obiecte au fost scoase din pmnt, luminnd
astfel unghere mai puin sau deloc cunoscute din istoria
complicat a colului sud-vestic al cetii din Alba Iulia,
ncepnd din epoca roman i pn n zorii secolului al
XVIII-lea. Aceast suprafa pare s fi fost permanent
preferat de ctre constructori, astfel c numeroase
structuri se suprapun i se nlocuiesc una pe cealalt
fcnd epocile deseori greu de delimitat. Cele mai
importante contribuii se refer fr ndoial la cele dou
cldiri legate de funcionarea episcopiei romano-catolice.
Din epoca roman a fost cercetat un fragment din
latura de vest a castrului i s-a descoperit c aceasta era
prevzut cu un turn intermediar uor decroat n planul
exterior. S-a stabilit c zidul de incint a fost meninut ca
fortificaie pn cel puin n secolul al XIV-lea, cnd
sistemul de aprare a fost extins n afara lui. Colul de sudvest al castrului a fost inclus n cldirile palatului
11
episcopal, fiind folosit ca fundaie pentru pereii exteriori

ai acestuia. n interiorul castrului au fost evideniate
urmele mai multor cldiri romane, a cror planimetrie
rmne a fi completat prin cercetri viitoare.
Epoca migraiilor este reprezentat prin cteva
obiecte metalice i fragmente de ceramic databile n
secolele V-VI. O aplic de centur decorat cu psri
afrontate dateaz de la sfritul secolului al VI-lea i
nceputul secolului al VII-lea. Din perioada medieval
timpurie (sec. IX-X) au fost descoperite urmele unor
locuine cu podine din lut, o instalaie menajer format
dintr-un cuptor pietrar i groapa de deservire, precum i
fragmente ceramice lucrate manual sau la roata nceat i
decorate prin incizie cu ornamente geometrice. n anul
2002 spturile au scos la iveal un mormnt cu ofrand
animal (oase de cal i bovin) n apropierea cruia se
gseau mai multe fragmente de obiecte din fier i un cercel
lunular aparinnd culturii materiale sud-dunrene i
databil n secolele IX-X.
Urmtorul nivel de locuire se leag de primele
construcii medievale cu mortar, aparinnd bazilicii ale
crei ruine sunt cuprinse n interiorul bisericii actuale.
antierul celei din urm a fost organizat la finele secolului
al XII-lea derulndu-se pe tot parcursul veacului urmtor,
dup cum sugereaz cele mai recente studii de specialitate.
Planimetria catedralei Sfntul Mihail este cunoscut de
mult vreme i prea exclus ca investigaiile recente s
determine modificri sau completri semnificative n
aceast direcie. i totui, un compartiment medieval situat
pe partea de sud a bisericii s-a lsat descoperit abia acum:
o sacristie gotic, construit nainte de finele secolului al
XIII-lea. Foarte probabil aceast cldire a avut dou nivele,
iar colurile sudice erau susinute de contraforturi dispuse
oblic. Parterul a fost acoperit cu o bolt n cruce pe ogive, a
crei amprent se pstreaz pe peretele romanic.
Alte informaii noi rezultate din spturile din
jurul bisericii se refer la turnul de nord-vest, corul gotic i
sacristia baroc: detalierea modului n care au fost
12
construite, ce transformri au suferit, cum a evoluat

nivelul interior de clcare i sistemul de pardoseli.
Spturile au evideniat de asemenea sistemul de aerisire a
fundaiilor bisericii, realizat n antierul de restaurare de la
nceputul secolului XX.
Cele 190 de morminte descoperite aparin mai
multor orizonturi cronologice, fapt dovedit de
numeroasele ntretieri i suprapuneri observate n special
n partea de vest a catedralei i n apropierea sacristiei.
Analiznd succesiunea vertical a nhumrilor i relaiile
acestora cu straturile i cu structurile zidite, au fost
delimitate cinci orizonturi cronologice, corespunznd unui
interval cuprins ntre cea de-a doua jumtate a sec. IX i
epoca modern. Cele mai vechi morminte conin depuneri
rituale, ofrande de animale, i pot fi datate n secolele IX-X,
ele aflndu-se ntr-o relaie nc obscur cu prezena unei
populaii sud-dunrene la Alba Iulia. Cele mai multe
morminte sunt ns legate de cimitirul primei catedrale,
datat ntre sfritul secolului al XI-lea i nceputul
secolului al XIII-lea cu ajutorul obiectelor descoperite n
conexiune cert cu scheletele, respectiv: cercei de tmpl
cu un capt n S, (depui cte unul, doi sau chiar trei),
cercei simpli, inele pentru deget, brri, aplice, mrgele,
catarame i mai rar monede.
Cel de-al treilea orizont cuprinde mormintele cu
sarcofag din crmid sau piatr prevzut cu o mic ni
pentru cap, datate la finele secolului al XII-lea i n prima
jumtate a secolului al XIII-lea. Ele aparin unei populaii
occidentale, probabil meterilor adui pentru construirea
catedralei actuale. Celelalte morminte se ealoneaz pn
n jurul anului 1700.
Sub denumirea de palat episcopal/princiar se
ascunde un ansamblu de cldiri despre trecutul crora nu
cunoatem dect foarte puine lucruri, deoarece sursele
scrise le menioneaz rar i fr amnunte, iar cercetrile
directe au fost limitate. Sptura arheologic din ultimii
ani a ajuns n apropierea palatului n special din exteriorul
corpului nordic, pe segmente mici, dar totui au fost
obinute informaii extrem de importante pentru istoria

acestui ansamblu. Vom meniona aici doar faptul c n
structura corpului nordic au fost delimitate patru
segmente edificate independent n diferite momente
istorice, ncepnd de la finele secolului al XII-lea i pn n
secolul XX. Componenta cea mai important este palatul
gotic a crui construcie o putem data n ultima parte a
secolului al XIV-lea. Ulterior aceast cldire a fost
prevzut cu diferite anexe (fntn, latrin, un turn
circular de scar) i extins spre vest pn la zidul de
incint al castrului roman, refolosit de cetatea medieval i
parial de cea modern.
Din sptur au rezultat numeroase obiecte, n
special fragmente de vase i cahle, dar i obiecte din metal,
os i sticl, de asemenea peste 300 de monede, acoperind
n linii mari ntreg intervalul cronologic cuprins ntre
epoca roman i secolul XX. Cele mai multe vestigii
aparin evului mediu i epocii moderne, reflectnd
intensitatea maxim de locuire de dup nfiinarea
episcopiei catolice. Din apropierea catedralei sau din
contexte legate de aceasta au aprut n mod special obiecte
legate de inventarul funerar, iar din interiorul sacristiei
provin mai multe obiecte legate de practica religioas.
Numeroase alte obiecte reflect dotrile palatului
episcopal i viaa cotidian a celor care fceau posibil
funcionarea episcopiei.

MONEDELE DESCOPERITE
Monedele descoperite cu ocazia spturilor

Palatul Episcopal reflect importana pe care a oraul nc
de a cptat-o de timpuriu n istoria Ungariei, fapt reflectat
i de procentul covritor pe care l reprezint monedele
ungureti n cadrul descoperirilor numismatice. Numrul
mare de piese numismatice, aproximativ 300 de
exemplare, la care se adaug i un tezaur monetar, n cea
mai mare parte material de dimensiuni reduse, dovedete
volumul impresionant de munc pe care l-a presupus
sptura arheologic ntins de-a lungul a mai multor
campanii.
Alturi de cele romane, monedele aparinnd
straturilor medievale ofer noi informaii si se adaug
celor deja tiute din documente, dar i din descoperirile
arheologice, importana lor constnd n posibilitatea de a
oferi indicii de datare a fazelor de construcie pentru
edificiile cercetate, dar i a necropolei dezvoltate de
timpuriu n jurul Catedralei.
Cele mai vechi monede medievale sunt cele
ungureti i se dateaz n secolule XI-XII acoperind
domniile regilor Koloman (1095-1116), Bela II (1131-1141),
Geza II (1141-1162) i Bela III (1172-1196). La acestea se
adaug un numeros lot de dinari anepigrafi emii pe
parcursul secolului XII, numii astfel pentru c monedele
de acest tip nu conin legende prin care s poat fi atribuite
n mod cert unuia dintre regii perioadei.
Aparinnd acestei etape, remarcm dou rariti
numismatice, prima este moneda de bronz (follis) n
timpul domniei lui Bela III (1172-1196). Piesa este o
apariie unic n numismatica maghiar prin faptul c a
avut ca surs de inspiraie moneda bizantin de bronz.
Legturile dintre Imperiul Bizantin i Regatul Ungariei n
aceast perioad sunt binecunoscute i au avut urmri att
politice, ct i economice. Faptul c ducele Bela a locuit la
14
Constantinopol i a fost logodit cu fiica lui Manuel I, n

calitate de pretendent la tronul Bizanului, i-a oferit
posibilitatea de a cunoate modul de via bizantin cu
instituiile i moravurile sale. Naterea unui motenitor
care s-i urmeze la tron lui Manuel I i moartea regelui
tefan III, l-au readus pe Bela n Ungaria ca rege. A doua
pies este reprezentat un dinar care are pe avers un
dragon spre stnga, iar pe revers dou psri cu capul
ntors una spre cealalt i ntre ele un lujer cu floare de
crin. Piesa are reversul asemntor cu o moned emis n
timpul domniei lui tefan V (1270-1272), unde apar
figurate dou psri n aproximativ aceeai ipostaz, dar
ntre ele se afl litera ebraic Alef (HL 357). Aversul este
complet diferit.
Domnia lui Carol Robert de Anjou (1308-1342) a
nsemnat o schimbare radical n politica monetar o dat
cu introducerea monedei de aur, dar i al transformrilor
suferite de ctre moneda de argint. Prin documentul emis
la Timioara la nceputul anului 1323, regele ntiineaz
capitlul de Alba Iulia de hotrrea pe care a luat-o, la
cererea nobilimii nemulumite de haosul monetar din
regat. Se hotra introducerea unei monede unitare, cu
valoare general acceptat n regat. Dei a fost nevoie de
dou etape de msuri, 1323 i 1338, reforma a avut, n
parte, succesul scontat, dup cum o arat i descoperirile
de la Alba Iulia unde monedele emise n timpul domniei
lui Carol Robert sunt cele mai numeroase i variate ca
nominal. Prezena unor piese de nominal mic arat o
amplificare a comerului mrunt, necesar unui ora n
plin dezvoltare La acestea se adaug i faptul c la Alba
Iulia se nfiineaz, n aceast epoc, o monetrie.
Activitatea pe plan monetar este intens i n
epoca urmaului lui Carol Robert, Ludovic cel Mare (13421382). Dei numeroase, monedele acestuia sunt
reprezentate de un singur tip monetar: dinarii cu cap de
sarazin sau cap de maur, denumii n acest mod datorit
prezenei pe aversul monedei a unei figuri de maur, dup
cum o dovedete caracteristica fizionomic a personajului
gravat. Prezente n numr mare n descoperiri se datoreaz

rolului lor de bani folosii n tranzaciile de zi cu zi i care
implicau activiti comerciale curente ntr-un ora
medieval.
Lunga domnie a lui Sigismund de Luxemburg
(1387-1437) este mai puin reprezentat n descoperirile de
la Alba Iulia, dei participarea sa activ la rzboaiele
antiotomane a reclamat ederea sa un timp ndelungat n
Transilvania. Tocmai aceast atitudine energic n
confruntarea cu Imperiul otoman a sectuit finanele
statului, moartea regelui inaugurnd o epoc de
nesiguran politic i financiar care se va extinde pe
parcursul mai multor ani. n plus, atacurile otomane care
s-au succedat cu repeziciune dup moartea lui Sigismund
I, cnd mai multe orae transilvnene printre care i Alba
Iulia sunt atacate i jefuite i gsesc reflectarea n
ascunderea mai multor tezaure compuse din piese
mrunte adunate ntr-o perioad scurt de timp. Acesta
este i cazul tezaurului monetar descoperit n campania
arheologic a anului 2007. Depozitul are n componen un
numr de 37 de dinari, din argint sau din bronz argintat
emii n timpul domniei regilor Ungariei, Albert (14371439) i Vladislav I (1440-1444).
O nou reform monetar se produce n anul 1467,
prin aceasta se introduc noi monede de argint cu valoare
stabil avnd ca reprezentare distinctiv Fecioara Maria cu
Pruncul. Printre descoperirile de la Alba Iulia avem
monede ante i postreform. Monedele emise ntre anii
1458-1467 se disting net de cele ulterioare prin calitatea
proast a argintului folosit, baterea neglijent, unele
monede au legenda ilizibil i sunt realizate din bronz,
posibil falsuri.
Dup moartea lui Matia Corvin (1490), avem un
hiatus de mai bine de 50 de ani n descoperirile
numismatice. Dac se au n vedere evenimentele care se
scurg cu repeziciune n prima jumtate a secolului XVI,
situaia apare ca fireasc. Dup btlia de la Mohcs, o
parte a Ungariei, inclusiv monetria de la Kremnitz-
Kremnica, ajunge sub stpnirea lui Ferdinand I de

Habsburg, iar aceast monetrie devine principalul atelier
monetar al regatului.
Perioada urmtoare este dominat de monedele
avndu-l ca emitent pe Ferdinand I de Habsburg (15261564). A doua jumtate a secolului XVI a nsemnat o
agravare a situaiei ca urmare a conflictelor deschise ntre
habsburgi i otomani ceea ce s-a repercutat direct n
circulaia monetar. Moneda mrunt se bate n cantiti
reduse, din aceast cauz, monedele lui Ferdinand vor fi
cutate n Transilvania. Aceast circulaie va fi mai intens
n deceniul al aselea cnd la Sibiu se intensific emiterea
de dinari cu efigia lui Ferdinand. Urmaii lui sunt
reprezentani cu una sau dou emisiuni: Maximilian (15641576), Rudolf II (1576-1608) i Mathias II (1608-1619).
Cercetarea unor tezaure descoperite anterior pe teritoriul
oraului Alba Iulia certific modul n care moneda local i
strin
ptrunde
pe piaa
importantului ora
transilvnean. Se poate observa lipsa general a monedei
transilvnene i utilizarea pe scar larg a monedei
poloneze i a celei emise de ctre Ferdinand de Habsburg
n numele coroanei maghiare. O dat cu scderea cantitii
de piese poloneze spre sfritul secolului XVII, se observ
infiltrarea treptat a monedei austriece i mpreun cu
aceasta a monedei de argint din provinciile germane, cum
este i piesa de un greschl aparinnd principatului de
Liegnitz-Brieg emis n anul 1670 din descoperirile
noastre. De altfel, la scurt timp (1675) acest principat este
alipit la Imperiul Austriac
n secolul XVII, se constat ptrunderea frecvent
a monedei poloneze pe pia n detrimentul dinarului
maghiar, care sfrete prin a fi substituit de ctre moneda
mrunt polonez. Cele dou emisiuni, ambele din anul
1624 sunt legate de apogeul deprecierii monetare
manifestat n Transilvania n epoc. Participarea lui
Gabriel Bethlen la rzboiul de 30 de ani a sporit nevoia de
moned care s-a manifestat prin baterea mai intens a
monedei locale, singurele monede transilvnene din
15
secolul XVII n descoperirile de la Alba Iulia aparin

acestuia, dar prin ptrunderea de moned depreciat
strin, n special polonez. ntre cele dou piese de trei
groi de la Sigismund III Wasa i cea de ase groi de la
Ioan Cazimir nu avem nici o emisiune polonez, absena
fiind cauzat de restriciile impuse de ctre Seim pentru a
mbunti situaia financiar din Polonia, dar i de
eforturile lui Gabriel Bethlen de a scoate din circulaie, de
la sfritul anului 1625, groii polonezi devalorizai prin
nlocuirea lor cu emisiuni proprii avnd n componen
argint bun. Efectul reformei sale a fost, doar n parte, cel
scontat deoarece monedele locale erau permanent retrase
de pe pia tocmai datorit calitii lor superioare.
Cea mai timpurie moned strin este un pfennig
vienez de la sfritul secolului XIII i nceputul secolului
XIV, fiind dovada existenei unor relaii comerciale, dar i
politice. De altfel, n anul 1312 este introdus plata vmii la
vadul de la Valea lui Mihai n dinari vienezi.
Monedele emise n ara Romneasc sunt o
apariie mai puin ntlnit n Transilvania, dar totui
explicabil, dac se are n vedere situaia economic, dar i
politico-militar de la sfritul secolului XIV, n care
Mircea cel Btrn a fost un participant activ. Mai mult, n
anul 1395 se ncheie un tratat de alian ntre Sigismund I,
regele Ungariei, i Mircea cel Btrn, domnul rii
Romneti n contextul cruciadei antiotomane pe cale s
nceap. Aceast alian avea i un al doilea scop, acela de
a apra interesele negustorilor maghiari n drum spre sud
i spre est, la Dunre i Marea Neagr. La acestea se pot
aduga mult mai vechile relaii economice stabilite de
ctre domnii valahi cu Sibiul i Braovul, ntre care
amintim privilegiu oferit de Vladislav braovenilor pe
baza nelegerilor de demult. Din ara Romneasc avem
trei monede aparinnd urmtorilor domnitori: Vladislav I
i Radu I (circa 1377), Dan I (1383-1386) i Mircea cel
Btrn (1386-1418). Secolului XV i aparin dou monede
emise n Patriarhatul de Aquileia, patriarhul Anthonius II
di Panciera (1401-1411) i n Imperiul Otoman, sultanul
16
Bayezid II (1481-1512). Urmeaz cronologic monedele

poloneze care aparin secolului al XVII, Sigismund III
Wasa (1587-1632) i Ioan Cazimir (1649-1668). Cea mai
recent moned strin este un greschl emis n Principatul
Liegnitz-Brieg n anul 1670.
Prezentarea descoperirilor numismatice se ncheie
cu o piesa de 10 poltura emis n timpul lui Francisc
Rkczi (1703-1711) i cu emisiunea (1 kreuzer) a
Imperiului Romano-German pentru Ungaria din anul
1763.

RESTAURAREA MATERIALELOR
n vederea realizrii expoziiei i a catalogului
aferent acesteia, piesele arheologice au necesitat intrarea
ntr-un proces de restaurare realizat n cadrul
Laboratorului de restaurare ceramic metal al Muzeului
Naional al Unirii din Alba Iulia.
Din punct de vedere istoric, artefactele descoperite
aparin mai multor nivele de locuire ncepnd cu perioada
roman i pn n epoca modern (sec. XVIII-XIX)
prezentndu-se n diverse stri de conservare datorate
proprietilor fizico-chimice a materialelor din care sunt
confecionate, a cauzelor care au dus la acoperirea lor cu
straturi de sol (incendieri, aruncarea lor n gropi menajere,
depunere ca inventar funerar etc) i a interaciunilor
suferite n contact cu mediul n care s-au pstrat de-a
lungul timpului. Materialele suport care au stat la baza
confecionrii obiectelor sunt, i ele, foarte diverse, ntre
acestea evideniindu-se o cantitate mare de obiecte din fier
cu diferite destinaii (unelte, arme, etc), bijuterii i obiecte
uzuale din bronz, podoabe din argint, ceramic, obiecte
din os fiind prelucrate prin metode diverse caracteristice
epocilor din care provin.
Obiectele confecionate din fier. n cadrul pieselor din
metal, procentul cel mai ridicat este cel al artefactelor
confecionate din fier. Datorit proprietilor specifice
acest metal oxideaz foarte rapid, iar produii de
coroziune sunt neaspectuoi i deformeaz substanial
aspectul obiectului. n momentul dezvelirii din straturile
de sol n care s-au pstrat, obiectele din fier sufer o
nrutire brusc a strii de conservare datorit ruperii
echilibrului cu mediul, timpul necesar reactivrii
coroziunii fiind de doar 0,05 secunde. Starea de conservare
poate fi mult agravat dac piesele au suferit n vechime
incendieri prin care s-au produs modificri ale legturilor
metalice formate n procesul de prelucrare (n majoritatea
cazurilor obiectele fiind confecionate prin deformare

plastic la cald (forjare).
Astfel artefactele confecionate din fier se
prezentau n diferite stri de conservare care puteau varia
de la o transformarea total a miezului metalic n produi
de coroziune, mineralizri pariale sau doar oxidri
superficiale. Cantitatea mare a materialelor nu a permis
realizarea unor investigaii aprofundate pentru fiecare
obiect n parte, prin urmare fiind necesar aplicarea unor
metode i tratamente de restaurare compatibile pentru
toate aspectele strii de conservare n care acestea se
prezentau.
Depunerile de sol i produii de coroziune
superficiali au fost ndeprtai prin curiri mecanice
uscate cu instrumentar adecvat (bisturie, chiurete dentare,
MTS, etc), pentru piesele masive fiind aplicat i o curire
prin sablare controlat la presiuni cuprinse ntre de 2 i 4
atmosfere. Pe parcursul derulrii acestor operaii a putut fi
restabilit forma iniial a obiectelor, mult denaturat de
straturile ngroate ale produilor de coroziune amestecai
cu depuneri de sol, cenu, var etc. Totodat au fost
evideniate, n unele cazuri, elemente decorative de pe
suprafaa lor (intarsii cu argint pe mecanismul unei arme
de foc, ornamente de bronz i mnere din os ale unor
cuite etc).
Conservarea a fost realizat prin taninare cu
soluie de tanin 20% i alcool etilic de 15% n ap distilat,
aplicat prin pensulare n dou sau trei straturi n funcie de
fiecare pies, urmat de nglobarea lor n rin epoxidic
de tip Araldite AY 103 cu ntritor HY 991, iar pentru o
protecie suplimentar a mai fost aplicat prin pensulare un
strat de lac nitocelulozic sau rin acrilic de tip Paraloid,
n concentraie de 10% n aceton.
Unele obiecte au necesitat ntregiri ale formei, att
n scopul refacerii ct i al consolidrii obiectelor, operaie
realizat prin turnare cu rin epoxidic n masa creia au
fost adugai, pentru obinerea unei tente cromatice
17
apropiate, oxizi metalici rezultai n urma proceselor de

curire mecanic.
Piese confecionate din bronz i argint. Obiectele
confecionate din aliaje ale cuprului sau din argint au
suferit i ele diferite procese de degradare, n special
oxidri, care au dus la deteriorarea miezului metalic n
diferite proporii sau doar acoperirea obiectelor cu un strat
subire, uniform i cu o culoare plcut caracteristic
patinelor nobile. Ulterior dezvelirii din straturile de sol n
care s-au pstrat unele dintre piese au suferit o nrutire
a strii de conservare soldat cu reiniierea proceselor de
coroziune manifestate n special prin apariia compuilor
metalici asociai clorului i sulfului, oxizi care se manifest
prin atacuri active, violente, punctiforme care pot duce n
scurt timp la deteriorarea ireversibil a pieselor.
Pentru obiectele din bronz s-a preferat n cele mai
multe cazuri pstrarea patinei nobile, depunerile de sol i
produii de coroziune cu aspect cornos fiind ndeprtai
prin curire mecanic manual cu un instrumentar
adecvat, sau cu ajutorul MTS-ului pentru piesele masive.
Ulterior acestea au fost supuse unui tratament de
stabilizare chimic n soluie alcoolic de BTA 3%, urmat
de uscare, ndeprtarea surplusului de soluie i
impregnare prin pensulare sau imersie n soluie de lac
nitrocelulozic diluat n solvent compatibil sau rin
acrilice.
n unele cazuri, n special pentru obiecte masive a
fost utilizat un tratament de reducere chimic a produilor
de coroziune n soluii de acid sulfuric i/sau EDTA,
perieri cu baton din fibr de sticl, neutralizare n ap
distilat, uscare n alcool i conservare final prin
peliculizare. Acelai tip de tratament a fost aplicat i n
cazul pieselor confecionate din argint pentru a se
evidenia luciul metalului, acesta fiind acoperit de cele mai
multe ori cu produi de coroziune de culoare verde,
specifici cuprului, prezent n compoziia aliajului i care
datorit diferenelor de potenial electrochimic au suferit
procese de coroziune selectiv.
18
Obiectele fragmentate au fost lipite cu rin

epoxidic bicomponent de tip Bison cu priz rapid
pentru piesele mici i Bison Power pentru cele masive,
uneori punctele de lipire fiind armate cu pnz din fibr
de sticl.
Anumite probleme au fost ridicate de piesele
composite confecionate prin alturarea mai multe tipuri
de materiale (fier, bronz, lemn i os) acestea implicnd
tratamente specifice pentru fiecare tip de material.
Tratamentele pentru acest lot de piese a fost realizat fie n
ansamblu prin intervenii locale, dac piesele nu puteau fi
demontate fie pentru fiecare material n parte, separat,
dac artefactele respective au permis desfacerea
elementelor componente.
Piese confecionate din materii dure animale (os, corn).
Dei prezente cu o frecven mai redus n cadrul
materialului arheologic supus restaurrii, aceste piese
prezentau degradri specifice care constau din depunerilor
mecanice de sol i de natur chimic (carbonai de calciu)
pe suprafa, fragmentri, ptri cu oxizi metalici etc.
Piesele au fost curite prin metode mecanice
umede sau uscate n funcie de starea de conservare n care
se gseau, urmate de asamblare cu adeziv de tip Aracet
fr plastifiant i conservare final prin peliculizare cu
lacuri de tip nitrocelulozic sau Paraloid b 72 n aceton.
Obiecte
confecionate
din
sticl.
Datorit
caracteristicilor specifice i a condiiilor de ngropare, acest
tip de material a suferit o serie de degradri evideniinduse n special pocesele de devitrifiere aprute ca urmare a
nerespectrii la confecionare a proporiilor optime ale
materialelor de baz, soldate cu apariia de irizaii i
exfolieri ale suprafeelor precum i fragmentri datorate
spargerii n vechime sau a presiunii solului etc. n funcie
de starea de conservare artefactele confecionate din sticl
au fost supuse unui tratament chimic n soluie de acid
azotic urmat de neutralizare n ap distilat i uscare n
alcool. Obiectele fragmentate au fost asamblate cu rin
epoxidic, fiind realizate doar completri minore ale
lacunelor acolo unde s-a necesitat consolidarea pieselor.

Din cadrul obiectelor confecionate din sticl se
evideniaz un vas de mari dimensiuni puternic
fragmentat care a necesitat operaii mai complicate i de
lung durat pentru asamblarea celor peste 50 de
fragmente pentru refacerea formei.
Ceramica. Obiectele confecionate din ceramic
sunt reprezentate n special din vase de uz comun, mici
obiecte cu utilitate casnic (fusaiole, capete de pip) i o
serie de cahle i elemente decorative din ceramic
glazurat. O parte din materialul ceramic prezenta, la
intrarea n laborator, diferite intervenii de restaurare
efectuate anterior care au constat din ndeprtarea parial
sau total a depunerilor de sol sau de natur chimic
(carbonai de calciu, depuneri de oxizi metalici),
asamblarea n diferite proporii a fragmentelor cu un
adeziv de tip Aracet compatibil cu materialul ceramic. n
funcie de acurateea acestor intervenii s-a hotrt fie
continuarea restaurrii din punctul unde aceasta fost
stopat fie desfacerea fragmentelor i reluarea fluxului
tehnologic din etapa incipient, starea relativ bun de
conservare n care se prezenta materialulul ceramic
permind aceast abordare.
Depunerile de sol au fost nlturate prin curire
mecanic umed (periere sub jet de ap) n cazul
fragmentelor neasamblate sau care au necesitate
desfacerea, fie prin tamponare cu buretele umed i curiri
mecanice uscate pentru vasele asamblate corect, dar care
mai prezentau mici urme de depuneri, n special de natur
chimic.
n cazul a dou vase acoperite parial cu
depunerile masive de carbonai de calciu amestecate cu
pmnt, var i cenu a fost necesar efectuarea unui
tratament chimic n acid clorhidric 5%, timp de cteva
minute urmat de neutralizare n bi repetate de ap
distilat.
Pentru ceramica decorat cu angobe sau glazuri au
fost realizate doar curiri mecanice umede i/sau uscate
pentru ndeprtarea depunerilor, un tratament chimic
putnd afecta att compoziia chimic a oxizilor metalici

care stau la baza realizrii stratului pictural ct i aderena
lui la suprafaa ceramicii. Obiectele aflate n stare
fragmentar au fost asamblate cu adeziv de tip Aracet fr
plastifiant, iar lacunele completate cu ipsos de modelaj
prin tehnici specifice (amprente interioare, copieri n forme
de ipsos etc).
Suprafeele completate au fost integrate cromatic,
pentru reducerea contrastului, cu guae sau culori tempera
pentru obinerea unor efecte cromatice, distincte, dar
apropiate de nuanele originale ale obiectelor. Ulterior
suprafeele au fost peliculizate pentru protecie cu soluie
din lapte de aracet sau lacuri nitrocelulozice.
Din contextul materialului ceramic se evideniaz
cahlele i elementele decorative glazurate descoperite, n
cele mai multe cazuri fragmentar. La confecionare cahlele
erau realizate prin presare n acelai tipar, sau o serie de
negative obinute prin amprentate dup acelai prototip.
Prin urmare acestea vor prezenta aceleai carateristici
dimensionale ale decorului, fiind posibil, prin aceasta,
refacerea formei i a decorului iniial prin copierea prior
lips de dup alte piese similare. Acest tip de intervenie
este posibil doar daca cahlele respective provin din acelai
context, prin aceasta crescnd posibilitatea realizrii lor
dup aceleai tipare, probabil chiar n cadrul aceluiai
atelier i nu sunt rezultatul unor copieri succesive sau
imitaii prin care pot aprea unele diferene.
Dup ndeprtarea depunerilor de sol, asamblarea
fragmentelor i protejarea suprafeelor prin peliculizare cu
lac nitrocelulozic, au putut fi ridicate diferite mulaje din
plastelin, cauciuc siliconic sau ipsos n funcie de
caracteristicile spaiale sau descorative a diferitelor
elemente. Ulterior acestea au putut fi transpuse n ipsos,
prin turnare n cadrul unor piese similare care prezint
anumite lacune. Prin aceast tehnic s-au efectuat i
diferite completri paralele ntre dou piese similare prin
aceasta reuind s se reface astfel forma lor intiial cu o
mare acuratee. Ulterior, completrile din ipsos au fost
19
integrate cromatic i protejate prin peliculizare cu lacuri

nitrocelulozice (Foto: 5, 6).
Complexa activitate de restaurare i conservare a
celor cteva sute de artefacte confecionate din ceramic,
metale, sticl sau meterii dure animale a condus la
salvarea i recuperea prin metode stinifice a unor vestigii
patrimoniale ealonate cronologic din epoca roman i
pn n zori secolului al XIX-lea. Interveniile lizibile i
reversibile au avut ca finalitate asigurarea unei protecii
durabile a tuturor obiectelor care vor putea s transmit
mesajul lor estetic i istoric n vederea valorificrii
tiinifice i expoziionale.

DESPRE ORGANIZAREA
CATALOGULUI
Expoziia este organizat cronologic, obiectele
fiind grupate pe epoci: epoca roman, epoca migraiilor,
evul mediu i epoca modern. Descrierea obiectelor este
fcut dup urmtorul punctaj:
Denumirea piesei
Contextul descoperirii. Este descris la modul general,
prin raportare la cele dou cldiri, palatul episcopal i
catedrala romano-catolic, indicndu-se de asemenea anul
descoperirii. Am considerat c aceste date sunt suficiente
pentru o orientare general a vizitatorului expoziiei i a
cititorului acestui catalog.
Materialul, descrierea formei i a decorului. Descrierea
piesei se limiteaz, n majoritatea cazurilor, la strictul
necesar, avnd n vedere faptul c toate obiectele sunt
ilustrate. Uneori am procedat la gruparea obiectelor i
prezentarea lor ntr-o singur voce, evideniind
caracteristicile generale ale grupului i eventual
rezonanele istorice ale artefactelor respective (cldrile
din lut, plcile de Iznik, ochiurile de sticl etc.). Piesele se
afl n custodia Arhiepiscopiei romano-catolice din Alba
Iulia, constituind un patrimoniu n curs de inventariere.
Din acest motiv catalogul nu conine numere de inventar.
Dimensiuni.
Datare. n marea majoritate a situaiilor, cronologia
pieselor este sinteza a numeroase informaii rezultate din
analiza contextului descoperirii, a poziiei stratigrafice i a
relaiilor cu alte obiecte i structuri existente n sit. Atunci
cnd piesele au fost descoperite n poziii secundare,
dislocate din poziia lor iniial de alte intervenii mai mult
sau mai puin apropiate n timp, am apelat la analogii din
regiuni apropiate i contexte istorice asemntoare. Atunci
cnd, din diferite motive, nu am reuit s restrngem
intervalul cronologic, am indicat epoca din care provine
obiectul.
Autorul fiei, autorul fotografiei. Cantitatea foarte

mare de materiale prelucrate i ilustrate n expoziie i
catalog a necesitat participarea mai multor specialiti, ale
cror contribuii au fost destul de inegale, n funcie de
ponderea diferitelor specialiti i abiliti. Din acest motiv
am considerat necesar s precizm att autorii textelor ct
i pe cei ai fotografiilors.
Spturile efectuate n anii 2000-2002 au fost
publicate ntr-o monografie de specialitate, aprut n anul
2008 n ediie maghiar i n anul 2009 n ediie romn.
Pentru obiectele descoperite n acest interval am preluat
textele din carte. Materialele descoperite n anii 2003, 2004,
2007 i 2008 sunt n ntregime inedite.

35. CERAMICA ROMAN
Fragmentele provin din nivelurile de drmtur i
straturile medievale sau moderne, foarte puine fiind
descoperite in situ, cercetarea castrului roman fiind
ngreunat de poziia sa stratigrafic n raport cu edificiile
existente. n ciuda caracterului rezidual, acest grup este
unul din cele mai largi analizate de pe acest castru i ofer
o imagine general a tipurilor ceramice n uz.
Majoritatea ceramicii de uz comun este gri, doar ceramica
fin este ars predominant oxidant (19%) i doar 8%
reductant. A fost nregistrat un repertoriu de forme
28
aproape complet, predominante fiind oalele i recipientele

pentru lichide. O gam larg de decoruri sunt utilizate,
lucru deja observat pentru siturile militare, ca cele cu
firnis, decor marmorat, barbotinat, glazurat, excizat sau
alte tehnici.
Majoritatea formelor observate corespund
tipurilor
cunoscute la nivel local mai ales n prima jumtate a sec.
III. Oalele, ulcioarele, castroanele ce reprezint mare parte
din fragmentele analizate, ilustreaz variante ce nu au fost
utilizate nainte de sfritul secolului al II-lea, dar care n
secolul al III-lea reprezint formele cele mai comune n alte
complexe locale, precum sanctuarul lui Liber Pater de la
Parto. Cteva fragmente n schimb se dateaz mai ales n
sec. II i nu sunt specifice complexelor de sec. III: bolurile
norrico-panonice sau ulcioarele cu gt inelar.

51. Ceramica.
Cele mai numeroase obiecte provenite din aceast epoc
sunt fragmente de la vase din ceramic utilizate n viaa de
zi cu zi, de diverse forme i mrimi, din care se pot
distinge cteva categorii:
Ceramic de uz comun, format din vase de culoare brun
sau cenuie, lucrat cu mna sau la roata rapid, dintr-o
30
past semifin, care avea adesea i pietricele n compoziie,

ceea ce i ddea un aspect zgrunuros. Aceste vase utilizate
la gtit, la servit masa sau pstrarea hranei aveau diverse
forme: oale bitronconice sau n form de par, castroane,
cni sau ulcioare. Vasele erau decorate prin incizare cu
linii vlurite i linii drepte, orizontale, dar erau i fr
decor.
Ceramic fin, lucrat la roata rapid, dintr-o past fin,
bine frmntat, n principal colorat n diverse nuane de
cenuiu, sau neagr. Aceast ceramic putea fi decorat
prin tampilare sau prin lustruire.
Ceramica tampilat, de culoare cenuie i neagr, mai rar
galben, este specific gepizilor, acest tip de decor fiind
utilizat mai ales la ornamentarea vaselor folosite pentru
but: ulcele, pahare, cni cu tub de scurgere. n ceea ce
privete motivele decorative, se observ preferina pentru
triunghiuri ordonate n iruri sau dispuse astfel nct s
formeze romburi, precum i pentru motive n form de
frunz.
Ceramica lustruit este de culoare cenuie i neagr,
realizat exclusiv la roat, dintr-o past fin; poate fi fr
decor, sau decorat cu linii dispuse n reea, linii n zig-zag
dispuse vertical sau orizontal, intercalate de linii drepte. n
ceea ce privete forma vaselor, din ceramic lustruit au
fost confecionate pahare, unele cu picior, cni, castroane,
oale bitronconice i n form de par, vase mari de
provizii, numite i chiupuri.
Ceramica din vremea regatului gepid este produsul unei
contopiri ntre tradiia roman provincial, n ceea ce
privete felul n care erau confecionate vasele, formele
acestora i motivele decorative i influenele olriei
germanice mai ales n ceea ce privete modul de decorare a
vaselor.

225. Complex ceramic din sec. XIV
Materialul ceramic, n majoritate aparinnd categoriei

ceramicii comune, se remarc prin cteva caracteristici
unitare:
- lutul din care se realizeaz vasele este prelucrat rapid
fr a se putea elimina din el toate impuritile i bulele de
aer.
- pasta este condiionat cu nisip cernut n cantiti destul
de mari, aceasta fiind i cauza unor suprafee finale
rugoase.
- piesele sunt realizate la roata rapid folosindu-se pentru
netezire mult ap.
- arderea este de regul oxidant incomplet, focul rapid
din cuptor i fluxul de oxigen care trece prin cuptor
nefiind suficiente pentru ptrunderea unor perei de vase
mai groi de 2,5-3 mm. Din aceast cauz la majoritatea
vaselor miezul pereilor are o culoare cenuiu-vineie.
Se pot distinge trei categorii de ceramic separate dup
compoziia pastei: semigrosier, semifin i fin.
Forme:
Oala borcan (oala fr toarte) este tipul cel mai des ntlnit,
foarte probabil ntregul lot provenind din deeurile unei
buctrii (1). Vasele cu toart sunt documentate prin ase
fragmente, dintre care dou aparin unor oale iar alte patru
unor vase de mici dimensiuni, probabil unor cni.
Remarcm toarta modelat din past fin, ars incomplet
la crmiziu glbui i decorat cu mici rozete tanate (2).
Au mai fost documentate capace n form de clopot (3),
castroane i un urcior.
Vasul de provizii (4) este reprezentat de un singur
fragment din past semi grosier, prelucrat la roata rapid
fr urme de decor. Elementul special n execuie l
reprezint o band de lut aplicat n zona buzei i netezit
la roat la interior. Forma vasului era fr gt, globular
sau alungit, cu gura mult mai mic dect diametrul
maxim (cu diametru la gur de 31 cm), cu pereii groi de
cca. 7-8 mm.
Creuzet (5) O pies special din categoria ceramicii pentru
folosit pe foc este un fragment de la un vas ars reductor.
49
Pasta este realizat cu lut i nisip ns ntr-o tehnic

special, produsul finit fiind foarte compact cu aspect
cimentos foarte rezistent. Arderea s-a fcut ntr-un cuptor
nchis rezultnd o ardere reductoare complet de foarte
bun calitate vasul avnd culoarea gri. Forma vasului este
asemntoare unui creuzet cu o buz foarte groas
rsfrnt spre exterior, dup care pereii continu
aproximativ vertical. Pe partea de sus a buzei ntr-o zon
aplatizat sub forma unui cioc de curgere are aplicat
puternic apsat o stampil cu litera T. Cel mai apropiat ca
form de categoria creuzetelor, acest vas are totui un
diametru relativ mare (26 cm la buz). La exterior se poate
constata un strat consistent de materii carbonizate dovada
unei ndelungi folosiri deasupra focului. Piesa de fa
provine cel mai probabil de la Tulln an der Donau
(Austria), localitate care pstreaz i azi T n stema
oraului.

402. Sob haban
Piesele componente ale sobei: cahle plci i cahle de col,
cu ram de prindere perimetral, piese de coronament de
dou tipuri i cornie. Past fin presat n tipar.
Decor: Faa vizibil a cahlelor plci este decorat cu motive
vegetale stilizate, ordonate simetric fa de dou axe
perpendiculare ntre ele. La cahlele de col s-a folosit
jumtatea decorului, iar faa teit prezint o rozet
stilizat, ncadrat de frunze. Colurile feei oblice sunt
deasemenea teite la 45. Piesele mari de coronament au
forma unui bulb de ceap aplatizat i sunt decorate cu un
vas cu flori stilizat, iar cele de dimensiuni mai mici,
prevzute cu talp i formate din vrejuri decupate,
constituiau o friz continu ce atrna peste cornia
superioar a sobei. Corniele sunt formate din toruri i
cavete, o parte din ele fiind decorate cu vrejuri, respectiv
un ir de astragalos stilizat.
Toate piesele sunt acoperite pe feele vizibile cu smal:
fondul este alb spre albastru deschis, fiind format dintr-un
smal pe baz de oxid de cobalt i de staniu, iar decoraiile
n relief ct i chenarele au culoare turqoise, avnd la baz
o proporie mai mare de oxid de cobalt. Una din piesele de

23 cm; piesele de coronament-friz: l. 22 cm., h. 10 cm;
corniele: l. 20,5 i 21,5 cm., h. 11 cm.
Avnd n vedere numrul mare de fragmente
recuperate i plcile ntregibile, a fost posibil
reconstrucia sobei. Aceasta avea arhitectura clasic a
sobelor renascentiste trzii, fiind format dintr-un soclu,
camera de ardere/nclzire, o corni superioar i un
coronament dublu i a fost realizat de meterii habani
stabilii la Vinul de Jos. Judecnd dup raportul dintre
proporiile i dimensiunile plcilor i ale cornielor, soba
avea doar o singur camer de combustie-nclzire. Plcile

A GYULAFEHRVRI VR RVID
ISMERTETSE
Gyulafehrvrhoz olyan pratlan anyagi s
szellemi rtkek kapcsoldnak, amelyek mgikus
hangzsv teszik nevt trtnetrsunkban. Lakott
teleplsknt val hihetetlen folytonossga, mely a rmai
kortl napjainkig kzenfekv evidencia maradt, az, hogy a
rmai castrumot 1700 krlig jra s jra felhasznltk,
nemklnben az a tny, hogy ismtelten egy vltoz
fldrajzi hatrok kzt elhelyezked trsg hatalmi
kzpontja volt, a maga nemben egyedlll satsi
sznhelly teszi. A rgi legjelentsebb trtnelmi
mozzanatai Gyulafehrvrhoz fzdnek, vagy legalbbis
krltte gravitlnak: egy idben a rmai provincia
legfontosabb teleplse volt, egy helyi llamalakulat
kzpontja s taln az erdlyi vajdasg szkhelye is,
stratgiai szerepet jtszott a Magyar Kirlysg trsgbeli
terjeszkedsben, az erdlyi katolikus pspksg, majd az
Erdlyi Fejedelemsg szkhelye, vgl pedig a
Habsburgok egyik legfontosabb katonai kzpontja lett
hogy csak a modern kor hajnalig idzzk fel a telepls
trtnetnek cscspontjait.
Magnak a vrnak a kezdetei a rmai korba
nylnak vissza, amikor a Maros magas teraszn, egy
zsenilisan kivlasztott helyen hozzlttak a XIII. Gemina
lgi castrumnak felptshez, amely ksbb a
legfontosabb rmai erd lett Dciban.
Miutn a rmaiak feladtk a provinct, az let
tovbb folyt mind az erdtmnyen bell, mind falain
kvl, errl elegend bizonytkkal szolglnak a
posztrmai kortl a IX. szzadig terjed idszakbl
szrmaz pletek romjai. VIIIIX. szzadi teleplsnyomok a vr terletn is napvilgra kerltek, de a feltrt
srok is azt bizonytjk, hogy a telepls srn lakott volt,
a lakossg zme pedig mr a IX. szzadtl keresztny.
88
Az a tny, hogy nagy forgalm, stratgiai helyen

fekdt, ahol mg llt a tekintlyt parancsol fehr vr, s
a vrost hagyomnyosan hatalmi kzpontnak tekintettk,
de ms szmukra nem egszen tlthat okok is a Magyar
Kirlysgot arra ksztettk, hogy Gyulafehrvrt terleti
terjeszkedse s a feudlis llam megszervezse rdekben
fontos tmpontjv tegye. Ide sszpontostottk a
legfontosabb llami s egyhzi intzmnyeket: itt volt az
erdlyi pspksg, a legnagyobb kirlyi vrmegye s
minden valsznleg szerint az els vajdk szkhelye is.
A pspksg alaptst (1009) Szent Istvnnak
tulajdontjk, az els pspk, Simon nevt azonban csak
1111-ben emltik a forrsok. A pspksghez tartoz els
pletek keletkezsi ideje sokat vitatott krds, amelyet
illeten a szakirodalom mig sem tudott kzs nevezre
jutni. gy tnik, az els istenhza egy kis teremtemplom
volt, melyet a XI. szzadban ptettek a jelenlegi
szkesegyhz eltti platn. A kvetkez vszzadban mr
mkdtt a romn kori szkesegyhz, amelynek a dli
oldaln rotonda-keresztelkpolna llt, 1200 eltt pedig
elkezddtt a jelenlegi szkesegyhz ptse, s vele
prhuzamosan fejldtt a tbbi plet, a pspki palota s
a hozz tartoz mellkpletek, melyek egyttesen
lehetv tettk ennek a nagy fontossg intzmnynek a
mkdst.
A vrrl elszr egy 1206-ban kelt okiratban esik
emlts, de hogy az adott idszakban mit rtettek a vron,
egyelre nyitott krds maradt. Az, hogy a XIII. szzad
derekn nem valamilyen ers vr llott itt, abbl is kitnik,
hogy a tatroknak nem okozott gondot a bevtele, s
katasztroflis puszttst vgeztek benne.
A kutatk egyetrtenek abban, hogy a kzpkori
vr kzvetlenl rplt a rmai castrumra, s klnbz
arnyban lefedte azt. Nagyon valsznnek ltszik, hogy a
kzpkori telepls, a castrum dlnyugati szegletben,
viszonylag kis terleten alakult ki, ez ugyanis knnyebben
vdhet volt. 1349-ben a gyulafehrvri fent nevezett
templom vrrl szolnak a forrsok, ami szintn a
szkesegyhz s a pspki palota krli szkebb krzetet

sugallja. A XV. szzad kzepn a forrsok tansga
szerint Gyulafehrvr vrt falakkal s sncokkal vettk
krl, 1461-ben pedig a keleti s vele szemben, a nyugati
oldalon lv kt kaput emltik, vagyis a prpost kapujnak
nevezett Szent Gyrgy-kaput s a pspk kapujnak
mondott Szent Mihly-kaput, ami azt mutatja, hogy a vr
szak fele terjeszkedett, de hogy meddig, azt nem tudjuk
pontosan megmondani. A XVI.
szzad kzeptl
Gyulafehrvr termszetszerleg az Erdlyi Fejedelemsg
szkvrosa lett, s a szekularizci nyomn a pspksg
tulajdonai a fejedelem birtokba kerltek. Ezt kveten a
vrra vonatkoz fljegyzsek jelents mrtkben
megszaporodtak, a vrat szmos forrs emlti, s tbb
zben elksztettk alaprajzt is. Utbbiak klnsen
fontos forrsai a vr XVIIXVIII. szzadi trtnetnek,
elssorban Luigi Fernando Marsigli (1687), Giovanni
Morando Visconti (1711) s Conrad Ferdinand Weiss
(1736) alaprajzai s tervrajzai.
A fejedelemsg korban nagyszabs terv
irnyozta el fldbl emelt gyllsok s egy tszglet
bstya felptst a dlnyugati sarokban, m a munklatok
ppen csak elindultak a dli oldalon. Mihly vajda
idejn,16001603 kztt a vr tbb helyen is slyos krokat
szenvedett, s Bethlen Gbor uralkodsig romos maradt,
viszont fejedelemsge kezdeteitl nagy gondot fordtott
a vr jjptsre s megerstsre. Leglenygzbb
mve azonban a pspki palota tptse, melynek sorn a
kelet fel kibvtett pletet monumentlis fejedelmi
palotv alaktottk t. A munklatokat utdai is
folytattk, s ennek ksznheten a XVI. szzad els fele a
vr s mindenekeltt a bennnket rdekl pletek
fejldsnek legszmottevbb idszaka lett. Ez a ragyog
idszak azonban sajnos csak rvid ideig tartott, az 1658-as
trk tmads slyosan rintette a vrat s az pleteket,
amiknt az 1661-es s 1662-es dlsok is. Az esemnyekrl
beszmol trtnetrkra mly benyomst gyakorolt a
rvid id alatt vgbement pusztuls, melynek nyomn a
vr romokban hevert, nem is nyerte vissza soha rgi

fnyt, gyhogy Apafi Mihly fejedelem t is kltztt
Fogarasra.
A vr XVII. szzad vgi llapott az 1687-es
felmrsi rajz nyomn rekonstrulhatjuk. A ngyszg
alaprajz j erd ktsgkvl a rmai castrumra plt r,
s annak egyes tornyait is magban foglalta. A dli oldalon
a Bethlen-idszakban plt kt bstyt talljuk, az szaki

gy nzett ki a vr, amikor 1687-ben, nem sokkal a
Vauban-erdrendszer ptsnek megkezdse eltt, a

A RGSZETI KUTATSOKRL
A Gyulafehrvri Rmai Katolikus rseksghez
tartoz pletek 20002008 kztt vgzett helyrelltsi
munklatai egy rgszekbl ll csapat rszvtelvel
folytak, ez a csapat gondoskodott a vr dlnyugati
szegletben feltrt rgszeti leletek vdelmrl, kutatsrl
s kezelsrl. Nem szisztematikus, meghatrozott
tudomnyos clokat kitz, szablyos satsokrl volt sz,
hanem csupn a trtneti memlkek krl vgzett
munklatokkor szoksos minimlis vizsglatokrl. A
kutatsi program mindig a tbbi munklattl fggtt, a
helyrellts prioritsaitl, berendezsek, hlzatok
talaktstl,
illetve
a
szkesegyhz
krli
terletrendezsektl. A fldfelszn alatti beavatkozsokat
rendszerint megelztk a rgszeti vizsglatok, az egyes
munkafzisok pedig leggyakrabban rgszek felgyelete
alatt folytak egszen a befejezsig.
A kutatmunka 2000-ben indult, f satsi
helynk ebben az vben a szkesegyhz szaknyugati
tornynak a belsejben volt, de a sekrestye dli oldaln s
a palota szkesegyhz felli homlokzata mentn is stunk
nhny kutatrkot. A 2001. vi satsi idny kt
szakaszban zajlott, s az sats ekkor is nagyjbl
ugyanarra a kt szektorra sszpontosult: a sekrestyre s
az rseki palota szaki homlokzatra. 2002-ben
nagyszabs fldmunkk folytak a palota szaki
homlokzatnak elterben az alagcs lefektetse s az
esvz-elvezet csatornahlzat tptsekor. Ez az satsi
idny klnsen fontosnak bizonyult: mivel a fldmunkk
sorn nagyobb felleteket bolygattak meg, a rgszek
egsz sor olyan informci birtokba jutottak, amelyek
alapjn elkszthettk a lelhely rtegszerkezeti mtrixt.
2003-ban a barokk sekrestye krl dolgoztunk, ekkor
ugyanis alfalazssal erstettk meg az plet alapozst,
2004-ben pedig feltrsokkal fejeztk be a sekrestye
kutatst. Ugyanebben az vben vgeztk el els
90
prbasatsunkat a Lszai-kpolna belsejben, s nhny

tovbbi feltrsra is sor kerlt az rseki palota dli oldaln,
a palota kertjben.
A 2007. vben jabb kedvez felttelek
teremtdtek a rgszeti kutats folytatshoz: a fcsatorna
tptse miatt nagymret fldmunkkat vgeztek a
szkesegyhz krl, valamint a szkesegyhz s a palota
kztti terleten. Az ptk ltal a rgi csatornzs
nyomvonaln vgzett kotrsokat vgig rgszek
felgyeltk, s mivel rgi falmaradvnyok bukkantak el,
az sst valamennyivel kinnebb terjesztettk, hogy a
falmaradvnyt pontosan felmrhessk s regisztrlhassuk.
Az j nyomvonalak, illetve a fejedelmi palothoz
(laktanyhoz) vezet csatlakozsok rkainak kisatst is
leletment kutatsok elztk meg. A 2008. vi satsok az
rseki palota belsejre korltozdtak, az plet legrgibb, a
pspksg
alaptshoz
visszavezethet
szrnyait
vizsgltuk.
Egybevetve: A rgszeti kutatsok jraindulsa
ta eltelt tz v alatt az satsok az rseksghez tartoz
pletek vdelmnek rdekben szigoran krlhatrolt
kis terletrszeken folytak. Noha ezek lelhely sszest
alaprajzn alig szreveheten jelennek meg, az
eredmnyek jelentsek: pletmaradvnyok, romok, srok,
rtegek, egyb objektumok s trgyak kerltek el a fld
all, fnyt vetve a gyulafehrvri vr dlnyugati szeglete
trtnetnek eddig kevsb vagy egyltaln nem ismert
mozzanataira, a rmai kortl a XVII. szzad hajnalig. gy
tnik, ezt a terletrszt a mindenkori ptk is elnyben
rszestettk, emiatt szmos struktra egymsra plt,
egymst vltja, gyhogy gyakran nagyon nehz az egyes
korszakokat klnvlasztani. A legfontosabb informci
ktsgkvl a Rmai Katolikus rseksghez tartoz
pletekre vonatkoznak. A rmai korbl a castrum
nyugati oldalnak egy rszlett trtuk fel, s
megllaptottuk, hogy a falat itt egy enyhn kiugr
kzbls toronnyal erstettk meg. Megllaptottuk
tovbb, hogy a kertfal legalbb a XIV. szzadig rsze
volt a vdelmi rendszernek, ekkor a vrfalakat kinnebb

toltk. A castrum dlnyugati szeglete beplt a pspki
palotban: alapul hasznltk, s erre rptettk a palota
kls falait. A castrumon bell tbb rmai pletnyomait
azonostottuk, alaprajzuk pontos meghatrozsa azonban
elkvetkez kutatsokra vr.
A npvndorls kort nhny VVI. szzadi
fmtrgy s kermiatredk kpviseli. Egy vveret, amely
kt, egymssal szembeszegl madarat brzol, a VI.
szzad vgrl, a VII. szzad elejrl szrmazik. A kora
kzpkor idszakbl (IXX. szzad) nhny agyagpadls
lakhz nyomait fedeztk fel, tovbb egy kvekbl
ptett fzkemenct talltunk a hozz tartoz
ftgdrrel, illetve kzzel formzott vagy lass korongon
ksztett kermiatredket. 2005-ben egy srt trtunk fel
ldozati
llatmaradvnyokkal
(ls
szarvasmarhacsontokkal), melynek kzelben vastrgy
tredkeket s egy a Duntl dlre fekv terletek
kultrjra jellemz, a IXX. szzadra keltezhet, flhold
alak flbevalt talltunk.
A kvetkez szint a kzpkori habarcsos
ptkezsekhez kapcsoldik, a jelenlegi szkesegyhz
belsejbe foglalt bazilika romjairl van sz. A bazilika
ptst a XII. szzad vgn kezdtk el, s amint j kelet
tanulmnyok sugalljk, az pts a kvetkez szzadra is
tterjedt. A Szent Mihly-szkesegyhz planimetrijt a
legrgibb idktl pontosan ismerjk, s kizrtnak tartjuk,
hogy az jabb kutatsok ebben a tekintetben jelentsebb
eltrseket
tudnnk
kimutatni.
Mindazonltal a
templomplet dli oldaln lv, a XIII. szzad vgefel
emelt gtikus sekrestyt csupn most sikerlt feltrni. A
sekrestye minden bizonnyal ktszintes volt, dli sarkait
pedig ferdn hozzptett falpillrek tmasztottk. A
fldszinti helyisget cscsves keresztboltozat fedte,
amelynek a nyomai tisztn kivehetek a romn kori
falakon.
Az satsok sorn napvilgra kerl tovbbi j
adatok az szaknyugati toronyra, a gtikus szentlyre s a
barokk sekrestyre vonatkoznak: az pts mdjnak

rszleteire vilgtanak r, arra hogy milyen mdostsokon
mentek keresztl, s mikppen alakult a jrszint s a
padlzat szintje. Ugyanakkor fny derlt a templomalapok
szellztet rendszerre, amelyet a XX. szzad eleji
restaurls alkalmval ptettek ki. A feltrt 190 sr tbb
kronolgiai rtegszinthez tartozik, amint ezt a
szkesegyhz krl, elssorban a nyugati oldalon s a
barokk sekrestye kzelben vizsglt, egymsra helyezett
vagy egymst metsz srok is bizonytjk. Elemezve a
srok vertiklis egymsutnisgt, illetve a rtegekhez s
az ptmnyekhez val viszonyt, t idrendi szintet
sikerlt egymstl elklntennk, melyek a XI. szzad
msodik fele s az jkor kztti idintervallumba
illeszkednek. A legrgibb srok, amelyekben ritulis
srmellkleteket s ldozati llatmaradvnyokat talltunk,
a IXX. szzadra keltezhetek, s egy a Duntl dlre es

A legtbb sr azonban az els szkesegyhz

alapjn a XI. szzad vgre, a XII. szzad elejre
korszakolhatunk.
A harmadik szinten a tgla- vagy kszarkofgos,
fejflks srokat talljuk, amelyek a XII. szzad vgrl, a
XIII. szzad elejrl valk. Ezek Nyugatrl jtt,
valsznleg a jelenlegi szkesegyhz ptshez idehozott
mesteremberek srjai. A tbbi srt az 1700-ig terjed
hosszabb idszakba tagolhatjuk be.
A pspki/ fejedelmi palota elnevezs mgtt egy
nagyobb pletegyttes rejtzik, amelynek a mltjrl
nagyon keveset tudtunk, az rott forrsok ugyanis csak
ritkn s a rszletek mellzsvel tesznek rla emltst,
kzvetlen vizsglatra pedig csak nagyon kevs esetben

kerlt sor. Az utbbi vekben folytatott rgszeti satsok

elssorban az szaki szrny eltti terletrl kzeltettk

lpcsfeljrknt szolgl kerek toronnyal) egsztettk ki,
nyugat fel pedig egszen a rmai kertfalig kibvtettk,
amelyet a kzpkori s rszben az jkori vrptsekkor is
hasznostottak.
Az satsok sorn nagy mennyisg trgylelet

Nagy Lajos szmos rmt veretett, ezeket mindssze
egyetlen tpus kpviseli, az n. szerecsenfej dnr,
amely a nevt onnan kapta, hogy ellapjn egy
jellegzetesen szerecsen fiziognmij emberfej lthat.
Azt, hogy ezek a pnzek nagy szmban fordulnak el a
pnzleletekben, a pnzgyi tranzakcikban jtszott
93
jelents szerepk magyarzza, ami egyszersmind

folyamatos kereskedelmi tevkenysget felttelez a
kzpkori Gyulafehrvron.
Luxemburgi Zsigmond (13871437) hossz
uralkodsa idejn kibocstott pnz kevesebb szerepel a
gyulafehrvri leletekben, noha a kirly aktv rszvtele a
trkellenes harcokban szksgess tette, hogy olykor
hosszabb ideig Erdlyben tartzkodjon. ppen az Ottomn
Birodalommal val energikus szembenllsa vezetett az
llamkincstr teljes kirlshez, s emiatt halla utn
politikai s pnzgyi bizonytalansg ksznttt be, mely
hossz ideig elhzdott. Radsul Zsigmond utn gyors

vrosokat, gy Gyulafehrvrt is. A fosztogats ellen a

Ez trtnt a 2007. vi satsok sorn feltrt pnzlelet
esetben is, mely 37 darab ezst-, illetve ezstztt, Albert
(14371439) s I. Ulszl (14401444) magyar kirlyok

1467-ben ismt pnzgyi reform zajlott, amelynek
sorn j, stabil rtk ezstpnzeket bocstottak ki. Ezek
megklnbztet jegye Szz Mria s a kisded Jzus kpe.
A Gyulafehrvron tallt anyag egyarnt tartalmaz a
reform eltt s a reform utn vert rmket. Az 14581467
kztti pnzeket egyrtelmen a gyenge minsg ezst
s a hanyag vers jellemzi, egyes veretek felirata
kiolvashatatlan, st a bronzbl kszltek valsznleg
hamistvnyok.
Mtys kirly halla utn (1490) a pnzleletek tbb
mint tvenves pnzkibocstsi hitust mutatnak. Ha a
XVI. szzad els felben bekvetkezett esemnyre
gondolunk, a helyzetet magtl rtetdnek tekinthetjk.
A mohcsi csata utn Magyarorszg egy rsze I. Habsburg
Ferdinnd uralma al kerlt a krmcbnyai pnzverdvel

A kvetkez idszakot az I. Ferdinnd (15261564)

ltal veretett pnzek uraljk. A XVI. szzad msodik
felben az ltalnos helyzet slyosbodott: A Habsburgok
s a trkk kztti nylt konfliktusok rzkenyen
rintettk a pnzforgalmat. Aprpnzt csak kis
mennyisgben lltottak el, emiatt Ferdinnd veretei
keresettekk vltak Erdlyben; forgalmuk a hatodik
vtizedben volt a legintenzvebb, amikor Szebenben
fokoztk a Ferdinnd kpmsval elltott dnrok
kibocstst. Utdai, Miksa (15641576), II. Rudolf (1576
1608) s II. Mtys (16081619) egy vagy kt kiadssal
vannak jelen. Korbbi pnzleletek vizsglata igazolja,
mikppen hatolt be a helyi s a klfldi pnz ennek a
fontos erdlyi vrosnak a piacra. Megfigyelhet az
erdlyi pnzek ltalnos hinya, ezzel szemben a lengyel
s a Ferdinnd ltal a magyar korona nevben veretett
pnzek szles krben elterjedtek. A lengyel pnz
mennyisgnek XVII. szzad vgi megcsappansval
szrevehetjk az osztrk pnz s ezzel egytt a nmet
tartomnyok ezstpnzeinek fokozd beramlst, gy
kerlt Gyulafehrvrra az ltalunk feltrt, 1670-es veret,
Liegnitz-Brieg hercegsgbl szrmaz garas (greschl). A
hercegsget egybknt nem sokkal ezutn (1675-ben) az
Osztrk Birodalomhoz csatoltk.
A XVII. szzadi erdlyi kereskedelemben egyre
gyakrabban hasznltk a lengyel pnzt, a magyar dnr
httrbe szorult, mg vgl teljesen felvltotta a lengyel
aprpnz. A kt 1624-es veret kibocstsa arra az idre
esett, amikor a pnz elrtktelenedse a korabeli
Erdlyben a tetpontra hgott. Bethlen Gbor rszvtele a
harmincves hborban rengeteg pnzt emsztett fel, ami
az erdlyi pnzvers felgyorsulst eredmnyezte. XVII.

ezekbl a veretekbl kerltek ki, de persze az
elrtktelened

fleg
lengyel
pnzek
beramlsbl is. Leletanyagunkban a Wasa-hzbeli III.
Zsigmond kt hromgarasosn s II. Jnos Kzmr
hatgarasosn kvl nincs ms lengyel pnz. Ennek az az
oka, hogy a szejm Lengyelorszg pnzgyi helyzetnek

javtsa rdekben megszort rendeleteket lptetett letbe,
msfell 1625 vgtl Bethlen Gbor is komoly
erfesztseket tett annak rdekben, hogy az rtkket

helyettk j minsg ezstt tartalmaz sajt pnzeket

a helyi pnzeket ugyanis ppen minsgk miatt
folyamatosan visszatartottk a piaci forgalomtl.
Legkorbbi klfldi pnzleletnk egy XIII. szzad

A Havasalfldn kibocstott rmk kevsb

a XIV. szzad vgi pnzgyi, illetve politikai-katonai
viszonyokat tekintjk, melyeknek Mircea cel Btrn,
Havasalfld uralkodja cselekv rszese volt. Mi tbb,
1395-ben Zsigmond magyar kirly s Mircea cel Btrn
Havaselve fejedelme az indul trkellenes keresztes
hbor jegyben szvetsget kttt. E keresztes hbornak
termszetesen egy msik clja is volt: megvdeni a magyar
kereskedk rdekeit a dlre s keletre, a Dunhoz s a
Fekete-tengerhez vezet tjaikon. Mindezekhez jrulnak
azok a sokkal rgebbi kereskedelmi kapcsolatok,
amelyeket a havasalfldi fejedelmek tartottak fenn
Szebennel s Brassval, kzttk azok a kivltsgok,
amelyeket korbbi egyezmnyek alapjn Vladislav
adomnyozott a brassiaknak. Havasalfldrl hrom rme

A LELETEK RESTAURLSA
Ahhoz, hogy megszervezhessk a killtst, s kiadjuk
annak katalgust, a Gyulafehrvri Rmai Katolikus
szkesegyhz s a pspki palota terletn 2000 s 2008 kztt
feltrt rgszeti leleteket szksgszeren restaurlni kellett, a
Gyulafehrvri Nemzeti Egyesls Mzeumnak Kermia- s
fmrestaurl laboratriumban.
A tallt trgyak trtnelmi szempontbl tbb
lakszinthez tartoznak, a rmai korral kezdden egszen a
modern korig (XVIIIXIX. szzad), s konzervldsi llapotuk
vltozatos,
ami
a
nyersanyagok
fizikai-kmiai
jellegzetessgeinek, a talajrtegek rrakdsi krlmnyeinek
(tzvsz rte, vagy szemetesgdrbe dobtk a trgyakat,
srmellkletknt szolgltak), valamint az j kzeggel val, hossz
idn t tart klcsnhatsnak tulajdonthat.
A leletek alapanyaga szintn fokozottan vltozatos,
skljukbl kiemelkedik a szmos funkcit ellt (szerszmok,
fegyverek stb.), nagy mennyisg vastrgy, a bronzbl ksztett
kszerek s hasznlati trgyak, az ezstdszek, a kermia,
valamint a csonttrgyak, melyeket szrmazsi korukra jellemz,
klnfle technikkkal dolgoztak ki.
Vasbl ksztett trgyak. A fmleletek kztt
legszmosabbak a vasbl ellltott trgyak. Ez a fm
jellegzetesen gyorsan oxidldik, a korrzitermkek pedig
visszatasztak, s lnyegesen megvltoztatjk a trgy klalakjt.
Amikor a fldrtegeket eltvoltjuk rluk, a vastrgyak
konzervldsi llapota hirtelen romlik, mivel megsznik a
krnyezetkkel
kialakult
egyenslyuk,
a
korrzi
jraindulshoz szksges id pedig csupn 0,05 msodperc. A
gyenge konzervldsi llapotot slyosbthatja, ha a mltban a
trgyak meggtek, aminek kvetkeztben mdosultak azok a
fmktsek, melyek elksztskkor alakultak ki (ezeket a
trgyakat tbbnyire melegmegmunklssal kovcsolssal
lltottk el).
gy a vasbl ksztett trgyak klnbz konzervldsi
llapotban lehettek a fmmag korrzis termkk val teljes
96
talakulstl a rszleges vagy csak felsznes oxidciig. A

leletanyag tekintlyes mennyisge nem engedte meg, hogy
minden trgyat kln, alaposan megvizsglhassunk, gy olyan
restaurlsi mdszerekhez s kezelshez folyamodtunk, melyek a
vastrgyak konzervldsi llapotnak teljes sklja szmra
megfelelnek mutatkoztak.
A talajlerakdsokat s a felsznes korrzitermkeket
mechanikus mdon, szrazon tvoltottuk el, megfelel eszkzk
segtsgvel (szike, fogorvosi szemz, MTS stb.), a masszv
trgyak esetben ellenrztt homoksugaras tiszttst is
alkalmaztunk 2 s 4 atmoszfra kztti nyomssal.
Ezeknek az eljrsoknak a folyamn megllaptottuk a
trgyak eredeti alakjt, melyet nagyban mdostottak a
korrzitermkek megvastagodott, talajjal, hamuval, msszel stb.
kevered rtegei. Ugyanakkor egyes esetekben megmutatkoztak
a trgyak felszni dsztsei (ezst intarzik egy lfegyver
szerkezetn, bronzdsztsek s csontnyelek a kseken stb.) (1., 2.
kp).
A konzervlst 20%-os taninos s 15%-os etilalkoholos,
desztillltvz-oldattal vgeztk el, melyet ecsettel vittnk fel, kt
vagy hrom rtegben, a trgy sajtossgaitl fggen, ezt
kveten Araldite AY 103 tpus, HY 991 ersts epoxigyantval
vontuk be a felletet. Vdbortsknt ecsettel felvittnk mg egy
rteg nitrocellulz lakkot vagy Paraloid tpus akrilgyantt,
acetonban feloldva, 10%-os koncentrciban.
Egyes leletek szksgess tettk a kiegsztst, mind
eredeti alakjuk visszalltsa, mind a trgyak megerstse
cljbl. Az eljrst epoxigyanta ntsvel valstottuk meg,
amelybe a minl tallbb sznhats elrse rdekben
fmoxidokat kevertnk ezeket a mechanikus tisztts sorn
nyertnk.
Bronzbl s ezstbl ksztett trgyak. A vrsrz-tvzetekbl vagy
ezstbl ellltott trgyak szintn megrongldtak, fknt
oxidlds lpett fl, amelynek eredmnyekppen a fmmag
klnbz mrtkben krosodottt vagy csupn a leletek felsznn
kpzdtt egy vkony, sszefgg oxidcirteg, melynek szne
kellemes, a nemes patinra jellemz. Miutn a rtegekbl
kiemeltk, egyes leletek konzervldsi llapota megromlott,
mivel a korrzifolyamatok jraindultak. Ez fknt a klrral s

knnel sszekapcsoldott fmsszetevk megjelensben
nyilvnult meg, olyan oxidokban, melyek aktv, erszakos,
pontszer tmadsoknak vetik al a fmfelletet, s amelyek
rvid id alatt a leletek visszafordthatatlan megrongldshoz
vezethetnek.
A bronztrgyak esetben legtbbszr a nemes patina
megrzse mellett dntttnk, ezrt a talajlerakdsokat s a
szaruszer korrzitermkeket kzzel, mechanikus ton
tvoltottuk el, megfelel eszkzkkel vagy a masszv trgyak
esetben MTS segtsgvel. Utlag ezeket kmiai stabilizcis
folyamatnak vetettk al, 3%-os BTA alkohololdattal, melyet
szrts kvetett s az oldatflsleg eltvoltsa, majd ecsettel
vagy merts tjn beitattuk megfelel oldszerben feloldott
nitrocellulz lakkal vagy akrilgyantval.
Egyes esetekben, fknt a masszv trgyaknl kmiai
ton cskkentettk a korrzitermkeket, knsavas oldatban
s/vagy EDTA-val, vegszlas rddal drzsltk, desztilllt
vzben semlegestettk, alkoholban szrtottuk, a vgs
konzervlst pedig filmser bevonattal rtk el. Ugyanolyan
tpus kezelst alkalmaztunk az ezsttrgyaknl is, hogy
kihangslyozzuk a fm csillogst, amelyet legtbb esetben zld
szn, a vrsrzre jellemz korrzitermk fedett, mivel az
tvzetben vrsrz is volt. Elektrokmiai potencilklnbsgk
miatt az tvzet komponensei szelektv korrzis folyamatokon
estek t.
A tredkes trgyakat ktkomponens epoxigyantval
ragasztottuk ssze, gyors hats Bison tpust hasznltunk a kis
daraboknl, Bison Powert a masszvaknl, a ragasztsi
pontokat nhny helyen vegszlas vszonnal erstettk meg
(3., 4. kp).
Nmi gondot okoztak a kompozittrgyak, melyeket
tbbtpus anyagbl lltottak el (vas, bronz, fa s csont), mivel
ezek minden anyagtpus szmra eltr kezelst feltteleztek.
Ezeket a trgyakat egyben, helyi beavatkozsok tjn kezeltk,
ha a leletet nem lehetett sztszedni, vagy minden anyaggal kln
foglalkoztunk, ha a trgy jellege megengedte az sszetevk
elklntst.
Kemny llati eredet anyagokbl (csontbl, szarubl)

ksztett trgyak. Br arnyuk a restaurlsnak alvetett rgszeti
anyagban nem jelents, ezek a leletek sajtos krosodsokat
szenvedtek, mint a felszni mechanikus talajlerakdsok,
valamint a kmiai jelleg rtegek (klcium-karbontok)
megjelense, tredkessg, fmoxid-foltok stb.
A darabokat mechanikus mdszerekkel, szrazon vagy
nedvesen tiszttottuk meg, a konzervldsi llapotuk

veg trgyak. Az alapanyag sajtossgainak s a talajba
kerls krlmnyeinek tulajdonthatan ezek a trgyak szmos
krosodst szenvedtek, melyek kzl kiemelkedik az tltszsg
elvesztse, ami azrt kvetkezett be, mert az ellltskor nem
tartottk be a nyersanyagok optimlis arnyait, gy irizlsok
jelentek meg, s a felsznk felpattogzott. A ronglds

ksztett trgyakat saltromsavas kmiai kezelsnek vetettk al,
melyet semlegests kvetett, desztilllt vzben, valamint
alkoholos szrts. A tredkes leleteket epoxigyantval
rogasztottuk ssze, s csak a kismret hinyokat egsztettnk
ki ott, ahol a trgyak megerstsre szorultak. Az vegtrgyak
kzl kiemelkedik egy nagymret, fokozottan tredkes edny,
amely bonyolultabb s hossz idt ignyl eljrst tett
szksgess, mivel alakjt tbb, mint 50 darab sszeragasztsval
lltottuk helyre.
Kermia. A kermialeletek fknt konyhai ednyek, hzi
hasznlatra sznt kis trgyak (orsnehezkek, pipafejek), egy sor
klyhacsempe, valamint mzas dszkermik.
A kermiaanyag egy rsze mr a laboratriumba
rkezsekor klnfle restaurlsi beavatkozsok nyomait
hordozta, mint a talaj- vagy a kmiai lerakdsok (klciumkarbontok, fmoxidok) teljes vagy rszleges eltvoltsa, illetve
97
a tredkek klnbz mrtkben val sszeraksa Aracet

tpus, a kermival kompatibilis ragaszt segtsgvel.
Attl fggen, hogy ezek a beavatkozsok mennyire
szakszeren voltak elvgezve, vagy a restaurls folytatsa
mellett dntttnk, attl a ponttl, ahol abbahagytk, vagy
sztbontottuk a tredkeket, s a technolgiai folyamatot elejtl
jrakezdtk. A kermialeletek viszonylag j konzervldsa
elehetv tette ezt az eljrst is.
A talajlerakdsokat a klnll tredkekrl s azokrl
az sszerakott darabokrl, melyeket szt kellett szedni, nedves
mechanikus tiszttssal tvoltottuk el (kefvel, vzsugr alatt).
Azokat a darabokat, melyeket helyesen raktak ssze, de
felletkn mg maradtak kisebb, fknt kmiai lerakdsok,
nedves szivaccsal s szrazon tiszttottuk meg. Kt olyan edny
esetben, melyeket rszlegesen masszv, talajjal, msszel s
hamuval kevert klcium-karbont rteg fedett, szksgesnek
mutatkozott az 5%-os ssavas oldattal val kezels, mely nhny
percig tartott, utna ismtelten desztilllt vzbe mertettnk, a

Az angbbal vagy mzzal dsztett kermit ktszer
tiszttottuk meg mechanikus ton, szrazon s/vagy nedvesen,
hogy a lerakdsokat eltvoltsuk, a kmiai kezels ugyanis mind
a festkrteg alapjt kpez fmoxidok kmiai sszettelt, mind
a rteg kermiafellethez val tapadst mdosthatta volna.
A tredkes leleteket plasztifins nlkli Aracet tpus
ragasztval lltottuk ssze, a hinyokat gipsszel ptoltuk, a
jellegzetes technikkkal (negativok ksztse, gipszformk
msolsa stb.).
A kiegsztett felleteket a kontraszt cskkentsnek
rdekben kromatikusan integrltuk gouache-sal vagy
temperval, hogy olyan sznatsokat hozzunk ltre, melyek
lthatan kivlnak, de kzeltenek a trgyak eredeti szneihez.
Utlag a felleteket vdborts gyannt filmszer rteggel
vontuk be, amelyet aracetbl vagy nitrocellulz lakkokbl
ksztettnk.
A kermialeletek kzl kiemelkednek a klyhacsempk,
valamint a mzas, dszt csempelapok, amelyek legtbbszr
tredkesen kerltek el. A klyhacsempket prselssel
98
ksztettk, ugyanazzal a dccal, azonos prototpus

felhasznlsval. Kvetkezskppen a csempk dsztsei
ugyanolyan mretek, gy lehetsgess vlt az eredeti formk s
dekorci feljtsa, a hinyz rszek lemsolsa hasonl

klyhacsempk azonos kontextusbl szrmaznak, ezltal ugyanis
megnvekszik annak a valsznsge, hogy ugyanazokkal a
dcakkol ksztettk ket, valsznleg egyazon mhelyben, s
nem egymst kvet msolatok vagy utnzs termkei, melyek
sorn bizonyos klnbsgek jelenhetnek meg.
Miutn a talajlerakdsokat eltvoltottuk, a tredkeket
sszelltottuk s a felletet nitrocellulz lakkbl ll filmes
vdrteggel vontuk be, klnfle plasztilin-, szilikonkaucsuk- s
gipszlenyomatokat ksztettnk, az elemek mretbeli s
dekorcis sajtossgainak fggvnyben. Utlag ezeket t
lehetett tenni gipszre, olyan, hasonl darabokba ntve,
melyeknek bizonyos hitusai voltak. Ezzel a technikval kt
hasonl darab kztti prhuzamos kiegsztseket is
elvgezhettnk, gy sikerlhetett fokozott pontossggal
jrapteni a trgyak eredeti alakjt. A gipszkiegsztseket
utlag kromatikusan integrltuk, s nitrocellulz lakkos

A nhny szz kermibl, fmekbl, vegbl vagy

A bemutatott kermiaanyag hulladkjellege ellenre is

megfigyeltk, ahol egyknt kedveltk a firniszbevonatos,

tartoznak,
nhny
kzs
ismertetjegy klnbzteti meg:
az agyagot, amibl az ednyeket korongoltk, gyorsan
ksztettk
el,
emiatt
nem
sikerlt
minden
szennyezdstl s lgbuborktl megtiszttani;
az agyagot elg sok szitlt homokkal sovnytottk, ez az
oka annak, hogy egyes ednyek fellete tlsgosan is
rdes tapints;
a darabok gyorskorongon kszltek, elsimtsukhoz sok
vizet hasznltak;
az ednyeket ltalban nem teljes gs oxidl tzben
gettk ki, a gyorsan ellobog tz s a kemencn thalad
lgram nem volt elgsges ahhoz, hogy a 2,53 cm vastag
ednyfalak teljesen tgjenek, ezrt a cserepek
tbbsgnek a belseje szrks lila sznezet.
A
fazekasagyag
sszettele
szerint
hrom
kermiacsoportot klnbztethetnk meg. A gyurma
lehet:
fldurva (rdes);
flfinom;
finom.
A fl fazk. Ez a leggyakrabban elfordul tpus,
vlhetleg egsz llomnyunk valamelyik konyha
hulladkbl szrmazik. A fles ednyeket hat tredk
dokumentlja, kzlk kett fazkbl szrmazik, a tovbbi
ngy pedig kismret ednyekbl, valsznleg bgrkbl.
Ezek kzl a 125. ednyfl ragadja meg a figyelmnket,
ez finom agyagbl kszlt, nem teljes getse utn srgs
tglasznt nyert, s bepecstelt rozettkkal dsztettk, ami
kvltkppen a szrke kermia dsztsre jellemz
De szep szmmal jelen vannak leletanyagunkban a harag
alak fedk, bogrcsok meg egy kors is.
A trolednyek tpust egyetlen, fldurva
agyagbl gyors korongon mintzott ednytredk
kpviseli, amelyen nyoma sincs dsztsnek. Klnleges
125
ismertetjegye a szj tjkn elhelyezett agyaggallr,

amelynek a belsejt korongon elsimtottk. Az ednynek
nem volt nyaka, teste gmblyded vagy hosszks,
szjnylsa (31 cm) sokkal kisebb, mint legnagyobb
tmrje, falvastagsga 0,70,8 cm.
A nylt tzn val fzsre sznt ednyek kategrijnak
klnleges darabja egy redukcis gets ednytredk.
Alapanyagt agyagbl s homokbl lltottk el, de
klnleges technolgiai eljrssal, ennek folytn a
vgtermk rendkvl tmr, cementszer s nagyon
rezisztens. Az getst zrt kemencben vgeztk, aminek
az eredmnye a nagyon j minsg, teljes redukcis
tget s az ednyfal szrke szne. Az edny
olvaszttgely alak, nagyon vastag pereme kihajlik,
oldala innen szinte fgglegesen halad lefel. A szj fels
szln, a kifolycsrszeren ellapostott rszen mlyen
bepecstelt T bet lthat. Noha alakja olvaszttgelyre
emlkeztet, az edny tmrje viszonylag nagy (26 cm a
szjnylsa). Oldalra klnbz anyagok konzisztens

A mi darabunk minden bizonnyal Tulln am

FOREWORD
The artifacts discovered in an archaeological
research represent the material argument of a past that we
try to reconstruct by turning to this auxiliary discipline of
history: archaeology.
There are many kinds of archaeological
excavations and, sometimes, chance discoveries have a
more important part that wed like to expect. There are
scarce excavations from which we manage to recover only
a few artifacts while the specialty conclusions must be
based on the analysis of the earthen deposits and,
sometimes, of the still existing ruins. Of course there are
also rich excavations from which we have the chance to
recover artifacts that help us to interpret the past and form
an important heritage for the generations to come.
The archaeological excavations in the southwestern corner of the fortress of Alba Iulia have been three
times lucky. It was a great opportunity for archeologists to
approach, even restricted, some buildings whose
historical, artistic and architectural importance is still
intact over all the centuries. A great chance was that so
many artifacts (coins, ornaments, weapons, tools,
earthenware, stove tiles or decorative ceramic plates) were
discovered in such a small excavated area. Many of these
objects have a lot more value than their actual sizes. Others
are suggestive in transmitting their message without the
presence of a specialist. Most of them are fragmentary and
only a few could be restored. But mostly, these artifacts
talk about two thousands years of history in Alba Iulia,
and a millennium of history of the catholic buildings,
without the need of too many words.
It is surely a great chance we have to present to the
public the results of the archaeological research on the eve
of one thousand years since the Episcopacy of
Transylvania was established. This exhibition is trying to
highlight the history of this millennium by means of
objects that the ones connected somehow to this institution

used at one point, placed in graves, lost, hidden or thrown
away. Each of these artifacts represents one more step in
our efforts to reconstruct past eras, that we feel we never
know too much of.
***
Assembling an exhibition with the results of the
archaeological research is a very natural thing to do 10 years
after the beginning of the excavations, a time when just as
many salvage and survey campaigns were organized. Our
suggestion was constantly and with great preoccupation
supported by the Catholic Archdiocese, even if finalizing
this operation proved to be a little more complicated than
we have expected. I am honored to bring my gratitude
again to His Excellency Archbishop Jakubinyi Gyrgy for
his faith in me. Also Mr. Szsz Jnos has been a great moral
support for the duration of this mission.
The project of this exhibition could not have been
finalized without the constant support and participation of
the National Unification Museum in holding this event in
the summer of 2009. So special acknowledgment goes to
the management of the Museum, the restorers of the
laboratory and other colleagues that have helped us one
way or the other.
The treatment and selection of the material, the
reservation and restoration of the artifacts, the making and
arrangement of the photos, the editing of this catalogue
and the organization of the exhibition colligate the work of
a large number of specialists that accomplished it in a not
so generous amount of time. The closing of the print
edition has been devotedly supported by Anca Mati,
Clin uteu, Delia Maria Roman, Andrea Gll and Teleki
Gbor. To them gos the editors special aknowledgment.
To all that worked for this, many thanks for their
efforts and my hope that this endeavor will prove benefic
for them as well as for the ones these pages are addressed
to.

BRIEF PRESENTATION OF ALBA

IULIA THE FORTRESS AND THE SITE
Alba Iulia holds a magical allure in our
historiography, with a material and spiritual background
that cannot be compared to anything else. Because it was
continually inhabited from the Roman Age up to this day;
because the Roman castrum was re-used up until 1700;
because is was a repeated center of power of a
geographically variable region Alba Iulia is without a
doubt a one of a kind site. The most important moments in
the history of the region come from or revolve around
Alba Iulia: at some point it was the hot spot in the Roman
province; it was the center of a local political formation
and, maybe, of the Voievodate of Transylvania; it had a
strategic part in the expansion of the Hungarian Kingdom
in the area; it became the seat of the Catholic Episcopacy of
Transylvania and then the political center of the
Principality and one of the most important Habsburg
military centers. And that is to only note the peak of Albas
important moments.
The fortress has begun its history in the Roman
Age. On the high terrace of the Mure river the castrum of
the 13th Legion Gemina was being built. It was to become
the most important Roman fortification in Dacia.
Even after the province was abandoned, life
thrived both inside and outside the fortification; numerous
artifacts from the post-Roman period up until the 11th
century were discovered to prove this. Traces of habitation
in the 8th and 9th centuries were identified on the territory
of the fortress. A dense and Christian population
continued to live here from the 9th century, as it is proven
by the numerous funerary finds.
The Hungarian Kings decided to transform Alba
Iulia into an important support of the extension and the
organization of the Kingdom because the White fortress
164
was placed in an intensely circulated area , it was still

imposing, it had a tradition as a power center and possibly
other reasons than elude us right now. The most important
forms of administration and ecclesiastic organization were
concentrated here: the seat of the Episcopacy of
Transylvania, royal fortress, the center of the most
extended county, and, as it was most likely, the first
Voievodes headquarters.
The installment of the Episcopacy is traditionally
attributed to King Steven I (in 1009), but the first bishop
that was mentioned in documents was Simon in 1111. The
first constructions of the Episcopacy are still not agreed
upon by the scholars. Apparently the first halidom was a
hall church, built in the 11th century on the plateau in front
of the current cathedral. During the following century a
Romanesque cathedral functioned instead. On the
southern side it had a baptistery-rotunda. The current
cathedral started being built before 1200. In connection, the
other buildings that add to the functionality of such a high
rank institution were added: the bishops palace and its
annexes.
The first mention of the medieval fortress goes
back to 1206, but what exactly is this fortress still remains
an unanswered question. The fact that the Tartars almost
entirely and very easily destroyed Alba Iulia in the middle
of the 13th century proves that the defenses of Alba were
not powerful at all.
Scholars agree that the medieval fortress
overlapped the Roman castrum in various proportions. It
is very likely that the medieval habitation initially
developed in the castrums south western corner. In 1349
the fortification of the said church in Alba Iulia is
mentioned, suggesting a small inhabited area around the
cathedral and the Episcopal palace. The fortress in Alba
Iulia, with walls and moats, is named in documents of the
mid 15th century and a 1461 document refers to the gates
on the eastern (Saint Georges gate, also called the
chapters gate) and western (Saint Michaels gate, also
called the bishops gate) sides; this shows that the

fortification extended north and east up to a limit that we
cannot specify, but could assume is identical to the Roman
one.
Since the middle of the 16th century Alba Iulia
became the center of the Principality of Transylvania,
while the impropriation brought the episcopacys estates
to the prince of Transylvania. After this, our information
increase considerably with documents and mappings. The
latter are the most important sources on the development
of the fortification in the 16th-18th centuries and we name
here Luigi Ferdinando Marsigli (1687), Giovanni Morando
Visconti (1711) and Conrad Ferdinand Weiss (1736).
At the time of the Principality a grand project
started: earthen platforms for canons at the four corners of
the fortification, a pentagonal bastion in the south-western
corner. Apparently the works had begun only on the
southern side. The most numerous destructions the
fortification suffered were between 1600-1603, during the
Michael the Brave events, and it remained a ruin up until
the time of Prince Gabriel Bethlen, who rebuilt and
strengthened the fortification since the beginning of his
reign. His most pompous accomplishment lays in the
remodeling of the bishops palace, extended toward east
and transformed into a monumental princely palace. The
works were carried out by Bethlens descendants. The first
half of the 17th century was indeed a period o growth of
the fortification and especially of the buildings that interest
us here. Unfortunately this shining period was short-lived,
the fortress and the buildings being destroyed by the
Turkish attacks in 1658, 1661 and 1662. The cronicars were
impressed by the massive destructions that happened over
a very short time. The city was abandoned and never
recovered, so that Prince Michael Apafi was forced to
move to Fgra.
The state of the fortification at the end of the 17th
century can be seen on the 1687 mapping. The square
fortification undoubtedly overlapped the Roman one, even
reusing some of its towers. Two bastions from the Bethlen

period are on the southern side while on the northern side
two inner, rectangular towers are depicted. The fortress
had this shape when it was given to the Habsburg army by
the 1687 treaty of Blaj, a little while before the beginning of
the Vauban fortification system. The plans for the Vauban
fortification were approved in 1714 and the works begun
on November 4th 1715 in the presence of General Steinville.
Most of the medieval fortress and part of the town were
destroyed, but the southern side, with the two bastions
was kept, though affected by their inclusion in the Vauban
fortification. The western side only preserved the
fragments that coincided with the Episcopal palace. The
south-western corner that corresponds to the catholic
buildings (the current cathedral and the bishops palace)
didnt suffer major disturbance by the Vauban
fortification. These monuments still are the crown jewel of
Alba Iulia.
165
ABOUT THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL

RESEARCH
The restorations works undertaken in 2000-2008 on
the buildings that used to belong to the Catholic
Archdiocese were also assisted by a team of archaeologists
that made sure the south-western corner of the fortress
was protected, researched and the patrimony was properly
administrated. A systematic archaeological research that
could have organized a coherent scientifical research of the
place has never occurred but only small investigations
were done. The program of the research was always
dependant on the other works, on the priorities of the
restoration works, on the reestablishment of the plumbing
system and on the reorganization of the terrain around the
cathedral. The interventions under the current upper level
were usually preceded by an archeological survey and
often supervised by specialists until they were finalized.
The research started in 2000, when the works were
concentrated inside the north-western tower of the
cathedral; a few surveys were also taken on the southern
side of the sacristy as well as on the palace faade facing
the cathedral. The 2001 campaign had two stages,
concentrated on the same sectors, the sacristy of the
cathedral and the northern faade of the Episcopal palace.
In 2002 ample excavation were done on the northern
faade of the Episcopal palace when a drain was built and
the pluvial canalization was reestablished. This campaign
was very important because the works allowed us to open
bigger surfaces and thus allowed the archaeologists to
form an opinion that led to the building of the
stratigraphic matrix of the site.
In 2003 we researched the exterior of the baroque
sacristy, whose foundations were underpinned. In 2004 the
research on this annex was finished with inner surveys. In
the same year we made a first survey inside the Lzai
166
chapel as well as some excavations on the southern side of

the bishops palace and its gardens.
The year 2007 brought another favor to
archaeology due to the extended excavations around the
cathedral and of the space between the cathedral and the
palace in order to remake the sewerage system. The
excavations that the constructor has done were
archaeologically supervised; when some vestiges were
discovered, the excavation was slightly extended in order
to correctly register and delimit them. The new lines,
including the connections toward the palaces buildings
(the barrack) were preceded by an archaeological survey.
The campaign of 2008 was limited to the inside of the
Episcopal palace; its older wing (which can be directly
related to the beginnings of the episcopacy) was
researched.
On the whole during the 10 years we just
presented, only small surfaces were researched, limited
strictly to the interest of the Episcopal buildings. Although
these excavations are barely noticeable on a general plan of
the site our results have been consistent: numerous
vestiges (ruins, tombs, layers, complexes, artifacts) were
taken out of the dirt, shedding light in less known corners
of the complicated history of the south-astern corner of the
fortress of Alba Iulia, starting with the Roman Age and
continuing up to the beginning of the 18th century. This
surface seemed to be preferred by builders, so numerous
monuments overlap and sometimes replace each other,
thus making the eras difficult to discern. The most
important contributions refer, of course, to the two
buildings that were linked to the function of the Catholic
Episcopacy.
From the Roman Age, a fragment of the western
side of the castrum was researched. It was discovered that
it had an intermediary, slightly everted, tower. It was
established that the curtain wall was maintained as a
fortification up at least until the 14th century, when the
defense system was actually pushed away from it. The
north-western corner of the Roman castrum was included

in the buildings that belonged to the bishops palace, being
used as a foundation for the palaces outer walls. Inside
the castrum several traces of Roman buildings were
identified (but their mapping is to be established by future
studies).
The Migration Age is represented by some metallic
artifacts and some earthenware shards that ca be traced
back to the 5th-6th centuries. A belt decorative element,
ornate with facing birds can be dated at the end of the 6th
and the beginning of the 7th century. From the Early
Middle Ages (9th-10th centuries) a few dwellings were
discovered; they had clay floors, a house appliance made
of a stone kiln and its pit; a few manually or slow wheel
turned shards were also discovered (they were decorated
with incised geometrical ornaments). In 2002 the research
came up with a tomb with an animal offering (horse and
cattle bones); next to it there were several fragmented iron
artifacts and a moon shaped earring that belonged to the
southern Danube culture and was dated in the 9th-10th
centuries.
The next dwelling level is connected to the first
mortar based medieval constructions (the basilica whose
ruins are imbedded inside the current cathedral). The
research of this was established at the end of the 12th
century and it worked on the duration of the 13th century
(thus suggested by the latest studies). The plan of Saint
Michaels Cathedral has been known for a long time and it
seemed as if the current research could have brought some
new information. Still, a new medieval, compartment on
the southern side of the cathedral was now being
discovered: a gothic sacristy that must have been built
before the end of the 13th century. It is very likely that this
building had two levels, while its southern corners were
supported by oblique buttresses. The ground level was
covered with a ceiling that crosses some ogives. Its
negative still lies on the Romanesque wall.
New information from the excavations around the

cathedral refers to the north-western tower, the gothic
choir and the baroque sacristy; how they were built, their
transformations, how did the floorings evolved. The
excavations also evidenced the churchs foundation
ventilation system that was done here by the restores of
the beginning of the 20th century.
The 190 tombs that were discovered here belong to
many chronological horizons, this fact being proven by the
numerous endings and overlappings that were mostly
noticed in the western side of the cathedral and next to the
sacristy. By analyzing the vertical succession of the burials
with the layers and the walls, five chronological stages
were delimited from the second half of the 9th century up
until the Modern Age. The oldest tombs contain ritual and
animal offerings and can be dated in the 9th-10th centuries;
they still have an obscure relation to the presence of a
south-Danubian population in Alba Iulia. Most of the
tombs are connected to the cemetery of the first cathedral,
dated from the end of the 11th century to the beginning of
the 13th century. These burials are dated with artifacts that
are clearly in relation to the skeletons: S ended hair rings
(placed by one, pairs or even by three), simple earrings,
digital rings, bracelets, ornaments, beans, buckles or, more
rare, coins.
The third chronological horizon has tombs with
brick or stone sarcophagi, with a small head niche, dated
at the end of the 12th-first half of the 13th centuries. They
belong to a western population, probably masters that
were to build the current cathedral. The other burials go
up to the 1700 hundreds.
The name Episcopal/Princely Palace hides a few
buildings that we know very little about. The documents
mention them rarely and with no details and the direct
researches were limited. The archaeological excavation of
the latter years reached near the palace, especially inside
the northern wing, on small sections. A few vital data were
obtained about the history of this place. We will just note
167
the fact that in the structure of the northern wing we could

delimit 4 segments that were independently build starting
from the end of the 12th century up until the 20th century.
The most important component is the gothic palace, dated
at the end of the 14th century. Later on, this building had
different annexes added (well, latrine, staircase circular
tower) and it was extended westward all the way to the
curtain of the Roman castrum (re-used by the medieval
and the modern fortress).
A lot of artifacts were discovered during the
excavations (earthenware and stove tiles especially, metal,
bone and glass objects and over 300 coins) that extend
from the Roman age to the Modern one. Most of the
vestiges are medieval and modern and they reflect the
maximum intensity of the habitation here after the
establishment of the Catholic Episcopacy. A lot of funerary
inventory artifacts appeared around the cathedral or in
contexts that were related to it while a number of cult
related objects were discovered in the sacristy. Other
artifacts show the endowment of the bishops palace and
the daily life of those that made the episcopacy functional.

ABOUT THE MEDIEVAL COINS

The coins that were discovered during the
excavations in Alba Iulia-The Catholic Cathedral and the
Bishops Palace reflect the importance that this city had
since early in the Hungarian history. There is a
predominant percent of Hungarian currency in the coin
findings in this site. The great work of the archaeological
research, undertaken in several campaigns is also reflected
in the number of coins discovered, approximately 300 and
hoard (consisting mostly in small pieces).
The Roman and medieval coins, as well as the
artifacts discovered, present new information, other then
from documents: new clues in dating the construction
stages of the researched monuments and of the necropolis
which developed early around the Cathedral.
The oldest medieval coins are Hungarian (11th-12th
centuries) issued by Kings Koloman (1095-1116), Bela II
(1131-1141), Geza II (1141-1162) and Bela III (1172-1196).
Also in this category fall a large number of anepigraphic
dinars issued in the 12th century (they do not present
legends by which we could attribute them to any kings of
the time).
There are also two numismatic rarities from this
age: a bronze coin (follies) issued by King Bela III (11721196). This piece is unique for the Hungarian numismatics.
It was inspired by the bronze Byzantine coin. The
connections between the Byzantine Empire and the
Hungarian kingdom in this period are very well known
and they were both political and economical. The Duke
Bela lived in Constantinople as a candidate to the
Byzantine throne and was engaged to be married to
Manuel Is daughter. This offered him the possibility of
knowing the Byzantine way of life, with its institutions
and manners. The birth of an heir to the throne of Manuel I
and the death of King Steven III brought Bela back to
Hungary as a king. The second piece is a dinar. On the
obverse it shows a dragon looking to the left and on the

reverse two birds looking at each other; between them a
lily flower. The reverse looks similar to a coin issued by
Steven V (1270-1272) were two birds appear but between
them there is the Hebrew letter Alef (HL 357). The obverse
is completely different.
The reign of Charles Robert of Anjou (1308-1342)
meant a radical change in the financial politics as the gold
coin was introduced and the silver coin was transformed.
With the document emitted in Timioara at the beginning
of 1323 the King informed the Chapter in Alba Iulia of his
decision following the complaints of the nobility about the
monetary chaos in the kingdom. He decided to introduce a
unitary coin with its value generally accepted in the realm.
Although it needed two stages, in 1323 and 1338, the
reform was successful (this is also shown by the
discoveries in Alba Iulia, were the coins minted during
Charles Robert of Anjous reign were the most numerous
and varied in values. The presence here of some small
value coins proves the growth of small commerce,
necessary to a developing town. In this age a mint is
established in Alba Iulia.
The monetary activity is intense during the reign
of Charles Robert of Anjous descendant Louis the Great
(1342-1382). Although numerous, his coins are represented
by a single group: the dinars with Saracen or Moor head,
named like this because a Moorish character (thus proven
by the physiognomic features of the character) was minted
on the obverse of the coin. This kind of coins is present in
large numbers because they were used in every day
transactions and implied commercial activities that were
normal for a medieval city.
Sigismund of Luxemburgs long reign (1387-1437)
is less represented in the discoveries from Alba Iulia,
although his active participation in the anti Ottoman wars
demanded his prolonged stay in Transylvania. This
energetic attitude toward the Ottoman Empire drained the
states finances, Sigismunds death opening a financial and
169
political uncertainty era of several years. The Turkish

attacks that rapidly followed Sigismund of Luxembrugs
death, when several cities, amongst which Alba Iulia, were
attacked and robed are reflected in hoards of small value
coins, gathered over short time and hidden. Such a hoard
was discovered in the 2007 campaign in Alba Iulia. It
consists of 37 silver or bronze dinars issued by Kings
Albert (1437-1439) and Vladislav I (1440-1444).
A new monetary reform, in 1467, introduces new
silver coins with a stable value. They have a distinctive
representation: Virgin Mary with baby Jesus. Among the
coins in Alba Iulia we have pre- and postreform issues.
The coins minted from 1458 to 1467 are clearly
differentiated from the ulterior ones by the poor quality of
silver, the negligent minting, some of them have an
illegible legend, they are made of bronze and they are
probably forgeries.
There is a 50 and more years hiatus in numismatic
discoveries following King Matthias Corvinus death in
1490. This is a very natural situation if we take into
account the events of the first half of the 16th century. After
the battle at Mohcs part of Hungary, including the mint
in Kremnitz-Kremnica, become part of Ferdinand I of
Habsburgs rule and Kremnitz-Kremnica becomes the
main mint of the kingdom.
The period (1526-1564) is dominated by coins
issued by King Ferdinand I of Habsburg. The second half
of the 16th century coincides with a worsening of the
situation because of the open conflicts between the
Habsburgs and the Ottoman Empire, which reflected also
in the monetary circulation. The small value coin is scarce
and therefore Ferdinands coins are valued in
Transylvania. The circulation increases in the 7th decade of
the century when in Sibiu dinars issued by Ferdinand
intensify in minting. Ferdinands followers are represented
with one or tow issues: Maximilian I (1564-1576), Rudolf II
(1576-1608) and Matthias II (1608-1619). The research of
hoards previously discovered in Alba Iulia certify the way
170
in which local and foreign coin introduces itself on the

market of this very important Transylvanian city. One can
notice the lack of the local coin and large amounts of
Polish coins and pieces issued by Ferdinand of Habsburg
in the name of the Hungarian Crown. Toward the end of
the 17th century the Polish coins reduce and the Austrian
coin is introduced together with the silver coin from the
German provinces (like the 1 greschl from the LiegnitzBrieg Principality issued in 1670 discovered in our
archaeological research). As a matter of fact this
Principality is shortly after the issue of this coin
incorporated to the Austrian Empire (1675).
In the 17th century the Polish small value coin
widely spreads so the Hungarian dinar is substituted. The
two emissions, both from 1624, are linked to the peak of
the monetary depreciation in Transylvania at this time.
Gabriel Bethlens participation in The 30 Years War
increased the need of money, which was minted locally.
Most of the Alba Iulia finds for this period are issued by
Gabriel Bethlen but also there are depreciated foreign
coins, especially Polish. There are two pieces of three groi
from Sigismund III Wasa and the one of six groi from
Ioan Cazimir. Other than that there is no Polish emission,
because of the Seims restrictions in order to improve the
financial status of Poland but also because Gabriel Bethlen
started to remove, since the end of 1625, the depreciated
Polish groi and introduced his own coins, minted with
good quality silver. The effects of his reform were just
partial because his coins were permanently removed from
the marked because of their superior qualities.
The earliest foreign coin discovered is a Viennese
pfennig dated at the end of the 13th century and the
beginning of the 14th. It is the proof for the existence of
some commercial and political connections. As a matter of
fact the payment of the customs in Valea lui Mihai is done
in Viennese dinars starting from 1312.
The coins issued in Walachia are a rarer apparition
in Transylvania, but still explainable if we are to take into
account the political, military and economical situation at

the end of the 14th century. Mircea cel Btrn (Mircea the
Old) was an active participant to this situation. In 1395 he
and the king of Hungary, Sigismund of Luxemburg sign
an alliance, in the context of the anti-Ottoman crusade that
was about to begin. This alliance had a second purpose,
that to protect the interests of the Hungarian merchants on
their way south and to the east, to the Danube and the
Black Sea. We can add to this the much older economic
relations established by the Walachian voivodes with the
towns of Sibiu and Braov, such as the privilege Valdislav
offered to the merchants from Braov, based on older
agreements. From Walachia we have three coins from
Vladislav I and Radu I (about 1377), Dan I (1383-1386) and
Mircea cel Brtrn (1386-1418). From the 15th century we
have two coins issued by the Patriarch of Aquileia,
Anthonius II di Panciera (1401-1411) and from the sultan
Bayezid II (1481-1512). Chronologically these coins are
followed by the Polish coins of the 17th century, issued by
Sigismund III Wasa (1587-1632) and Ioan Cazimir (16491668). The most recent foreign coin is a greschl issued in
the Liegnitz-Brieg Principality in 1670.
This presentation of the numismatic finds ends
with a 10 poltura piece issued by Francisc Rkczi (17031711) and the 1 kreuzer piece issued by the RomanGerman Empire for Hungary in 1763.
The entire lot of coins, found during the ample
archaeological works of the Catholic Cathedral and the
Bishops Palace in Alba Iulia, completes the information on
these monuments gathered along the years and offers new
data about the monetary circulation in this important city
in Transylvania.

ABOUT THE ARTIFACTS

RESTORATION
The archaeological finds discovered at the Catholic
Cathedral and the Bishops Palace from 2000 until 2008
that are included in the exhibition and its catalogue
needed to be restored by the Pottery-metal restoration
laboratory of the National Unification Museum in Alba
Iulia.
Historically, the artifacts belong to several
dwelling levels, from the Roman era until the Modern
period (18th-19th centuries). Because of the physicalchemical qualities of the materials, of the causes that led to
covering them with earth (fires, tossing them in garbage
pits, depositing them as funerary inventory etc) and of
their interactions with the environment along the time
these objects are in different preservation stages.
The materials of which the artifacts were made are
heterogeneous: a huge quantity of iron objects (tool,
weapons etc), jewelry, ordinary bronze items, silver
ornaments, pottery and bone objects. All of them were
manufactured by characteristic methods for the time they
belong to.
Iron made objects:
They are prevalent among the metal artifacts.
Because of its specific features iron oxidizes very fast; also
the corrosion products are ugly and they substantially
affect the aspect of the artifact. When they are taken from
the soil which preserved them, the iron objects are very
poorly preserved and the time necessary for the
reactivation of the corrosion is of only 0,05 seconds. The
conservation status can be much worsened if the objects
were fired, in which case the metallic links that were
formed by processing were broken (most of the cases the
objects were made by heated plastic deformation forged).
The iron objects presented had different stages of
preservation, varying from a total transformation of the
172
metallic core into corrosion products to partial

mineralization or just superficial oxidation.
The soil contamination and the superficial
corrosion were eliminated by mechanical, dry cleaning
with tools such as scalpels, dental tools, MTS etc. The
massive pieces were also cleaned by controlled sanding,
pressurized at 2-4 atmospheres.
With these procedures we could recreate the
original shape of the objects (which was much altered by
the corrosion and soil, ash, quick or slaked lime
precipitations). In some cases we highlighted decorative
elements on the objects surface (silver inlays on a firearm
mechanism, bronze ornaments and bone handles of knives
etc.).
The artifacts preservation was done with a
solution of 20% tannin and 15% ethyl alcohol in distilled
water, brushed in 2 or 3 layers, according to each piece.
Then the artifacts were impregnated with epoxy resin
(Araldite AY 103 with its intensifier HY 991). For special
protection we brushed the artifacts with a layer of
nitrocellulose lacquer or Paraloid acryl resin applied in a
10% solution of acetone.
Some objects needed to be both reconstructed and
consolidated. This was done by pouring epoxy resin mixed
with metallic oxides resulted from the mechanical
cleaning.
Bronze and silver objects:
The artifacts made of copper alloys or of silver also
suffered degradations, mostly oxidations that led to
damaging the metallic core in different proportions or just
the covering of the pieces with a thin, uniform, layer,
specific for the patina. When the objects were excavated
they were degraded; the corrosion reappeared and so
metallic compounds which are associated with chlorine
and sulphur violently and actively attacked the objects and
soon led to their irreversible destruction.
We most of the times preferred to preserve the
patina. The soil precipitations and the corrosion products
were removed by manual, mechanical cleaning with

adequate tools or with MTS for the massive objects. Next
the objects underwent a treatment of chemical stabilization
in an alcoholic solution of 3% BTA then dried and by
impregnating or sinking them in a solution of
nitrocellulose lacquer diluted with a compatible solvent or
acryl resin.
In some cases, mostly for large objects, we used a
treatment of chemical reduction of the corrosion in
sulphuric acid and/or EDTA, brushing them with a soft
glass bristle brush. They were also neutralized in distilled
water and dried in alcohol. The artifacts were finally
preserved with a protective coating. The same treatment
was done for the silver pieces. We tried to highlight the
metallic lustre. Most of the pieces were covered with
green, copper typical corrosion products; they are part of
the chemical composition of the silver alloy. Because of the
differences in the electrochemical potential the objects
were selectively corroded.
The fragmented small items were glued together
with quick hold Bison bicomponent epoxy resin. The large
objects were glued with Power Bison epoxy resin.
Sometimes the soldering was reinforced with fiber glass
fabric.
We had some problems with the artifacts that were
created by mixing or joining many types of materials (iron,
bronze, wood and bone) with special treatments for each
of them. The treatment was therefore done either entirely,
with local interventions (if the pieces could not be
demounted) or separately, for each material, if the pieces
could be demounted.
Pieces made of tough animal materials (bone, antler):
Although few in this lot of restored artifacts, these
objects had specific degradations: soil and chemical
(calcium carbonate) precipitations on their surface,
fragmentations, stains of metallic oxides etc.
The pieces were wet or dry mechanically cleaned,
according to their preservation status, assembled with
Aracet adhesive and finally conserved by applying a

protective coating of nitrocellulose or Paraloid B 72
lacquers mixed with acetone.
Glass made artifacts:
Because of their specific characteristics and how
they were covered with earth, these objects suffered the
following degradations. Devitrification: because the
manufactures did not respect the optimum proportions of
the basic materials in fabricating the objects, surface
iridescences and exfoliations appeared. Also, the objects
were fragmented of age or because of the soil pressure etc.
According to their preservation status the glass
artifacts were chemically treated with a solution of nitric
acid, neutralized in distilled water and dried in alcohol.
The fragmented objects were assembled using
epoxy resin. Were we needed to consolidate the pieces we
made some minor additions.
One of the most interesting glass pieces was a
large vessel, broken in more than 50 fragments that needed
long and complicated operations to assemble.
Pottery:
The ware is represented mostly of vessels, small
domestic items (spindle heads, tobacco pipes), stove tiles
and decorative elements made of glazed ceramic.
Some of the pottery had different restoration
procedures already performed: the soil or chemical
(calcium carbonate, metallic oxides) precipitates were
partially or totally removed; some of the fragments were
assembled with Aracet adhesive (which is compatible with
the ceramic material).
According to these interventions, and because the
condition of the artifacts allowed it, we either decided to
continue the restoration or to disassemble the fragments at
start anew.
The soil precipitates were removed by mechanical,
wet cleaning with water (for the disassembled pieces) or
dabbing the glued fragments with a wet sponge. We dry,
173
mechanically cleaned the correctly assembled vessels that

still had some chemical precipitates.
Two vessels, partially covered with massive
precipitates of calcium carbonate, dirt, lime and ash
needed to be chemically treated with a solution of 5%
hydrochloric acid and neutralized afterwards with
repeated baths in distilled water.
The pottery decorated with engobes or glazes was
only dry and/or wet, mechanically cleaned in order to
remove the precipitates. A chemical treatment could have
affected both the chemical compound of the metallic
oxides used to create the painted layer and its adherence to
the surface of the ceramic.
The fragmented items were assembled using
Aracet adhesive and the missing parts were done with
mould cast (using inner prints, copying the form in cast
etc).
The cast parts were color integrated with gouache
or tempera, in order to reduce contrast and to obtain
chromatic effects that are close to the original color of the
artifacts. Later the surfaces were protected with a coat of
Aracet milk or nitrocellulose lacquers.
Some of the finest ceramic items were stove tiles
and the decorative elements made of glazed ceramic; most
of them were fragmented.
The stove tiles were created by pressing the clay in
the same moulds or with a series of negatives impressed
following the same prototype. Therefore they will have the
same characteristic of the dcor and the copying of the
missing fragments and dcor from similar items is
possible. But this kind of intervention is possible only if
the stove tiles are from the same context, thus increasing
the possibility of them being created with the same
moulds, maybe in the same workshop and they are not the
products of successive copying or imitation, which leads to
some differences.
The soil precipitates were removed, the fragments
were assembled and the surfaces were protected with
174
nitrocellulose lacquers. Then we could create moulds

made of plasticine, silicone rubber or cast, according to the
spatial or decorative characteristics of the fragments. Later
on the moulds could be poured in cast in order to
complete the missing parts. This was also done for similar
pieces, thus managing to accurately recreate the initial
form. Later the cast fillings were color integrated then
protected with a protective coating of nitrocellulose
lacquers.
The complex restoration and conservation of some
hundreds of ceramic, metal, glass, bone or antler artifacts
helped to salvage and scientifically recover valuable
patrimony from the Roman era up until the early 19th
century. The interventions, both noticeable and reversible,
assured a durable protection of the objects, thus allowing
the artifacts in transmitting their esthetic and historical
message while displayed in exhibitions and studied.
THE CATALOGUE
The exhibition is chronologically organized and the objects
are thus grouped: Roman, Migration, Middle and Modern
Ages. The description of the artifacts follows:
Name of the piece
Discovery context. Generally described in its connection
with the two buildings, the Episcopal palace and the
cathedral. We also noted the year of the discovery. We
considered that these data are enough to help the visitors
and the readers of this catalogue to orient themselves
around the exhibition.
Material, shape and decoration description. The description is
generally limited to the minimum, considering that all the
artifacts have images. Sometimes we grouped the objects
and their presentation in one, pointing to the general
characteristics of the group and the historical importance
of those items (the clay buckets, the Iznik ceramic plates,
the window glass and so on). The artifacts are in the
custody of the Catholic Archdiocese of Alba Iulia and they
are being currently inventoried. Therefore the catalogue
does not include an inventory number.
Sizes.
Dating. In most of the cases the artifacts chronology is a
synthesis of numerous data that resulted from the analysis
of the contexts, the stratigraphic position and the relation
to other artifacts and structures that were discovered
elsewhere in the site. When the objects were discovered in
secondary positions, dislodged from their original position
by other interventions we tried to make analogies with
close regions and similar historical contexts. When,
because of various reasons, we could not narrow the
chronology we only noted the time frame.
Author of the chart, author of the photo, translator. The great
amount of artifacts that needed to be processed and
illustrated in the exhibition and the catalogue needed a
great number of specialists. Their contributions were
unequal because of the balance of different specialties and

abilities. This is why we thought necessary to mention the
authors of the texts and of the photos and, of course, the
translators.
The excavations of 2000-2002 were published in a
monographic paper edited in 2008 in Hungarian and in
2009 in Romanian. The descriptions of the objects that
were discovered in this interval are taken from the book.
The artifacts that were discovered in 2003, 2004, 2007 and
2008 are entirely novelties.

35. ROMAN EARTHENWARE
Most of the fragments come from the demolishment layers
as well as the medieval or modern levels. Very few of them
were discovered in situ since the research of the Roman
castrum is hard, given its stratigraphic position reported to
the current edifices. In spite of its residual character this
group is one of the most analyzed in this castrum and
present us with a general image of the used ceramic types.
The graphics indicate similar numbers for the fine and
coarse grained pottery. Most of the common earthenware
is gray. Only the fine pottery is predominantly oxidizing
fired (19%) while 8% is reduced fired. The shape repertoire
is almost complete for these finds; most of the shapes are
the pots and liquid preserver vessels. A large palette of
decorations is used, as it was also observed in military
sites: lacquered decorations, mottled ones, barbotines,
glazes, excised ornaments and so on.
Most of the shapes that we have are known locally, mostly
during the half of the 3rd century. The pots, pitchers and
180
the bowls are variants that were not used before the end of
the 2nd century, but they are the most common shapes
used in local complexes (such as Liber Paters sanctuary in
Parto) during the 3rd century. Some of the fragments can
be dated especially in the 2nd century and they are not
specific for the following century: Norric-Pannonic bowls
or ring shaped necked pitchers.

POST ROMAN AGE
36. Fragment of the upper part of a pot.
2002. next to the palace.

51. Pottery.
Most of the objects from that time are fragments of day to
day earthenware, with different shapes and sizes, which
can be thus categorized:
Common earthenware. Brown or grey pottery, hand made
or fast wheel turned, medium paste, often with pebbles
which give it a grained aspect. These vessels were used to
cooking food, eating or preserving food. They had
different shapes: by-tronconic or pear-shaped pots, bowls,
mugs or pitchers. The vessels were decorated with
incisions of wavy, straight or horizontal lines but there
were also vessels with no decoration.
Fine pottery. Fast wheel turned, fine paste, well beaten,
colored mainly in different shades of grey or black. This kind
of pottery could be decorated by stamping or polishing it.
Stamped pottery, grey or black (rarely yellow) is a
particularity of the Gepids. Stamps were used to decorate
mostly drinking vessels: pipkins, goblets, mugs with
leaking tubes. As for the decorative motifs, the Gepids
apparently preferred rows of triangles, triangles disposed
in rhombic patterns or leaf motifs.
Polished earthenware is grey or black, exclusively fast wheel
turned. Its made of a fine paste. It can have no decoration or it
182
can be decorated with networks of lines, zig zag vertical or

horizontal lines inlaid with straight lines or lines that form
some kind of a metope. The shape of the polished earthenware
can be: goblets (some with foot and stem), mugs, bowls, bytronconic and pear-shaped pots, large provisions vessels.
The earthenware in the Gepidic kingdom is the product of
a mlange of the Roman provincial tradition of the way
vessels were made, their shapes and decoration and the
influences of the Germanic crockery, mostly in the
decoration of the vessels.

the visible one, is cut in the middle section in a circular
shape. The chain is made of 4 links shaped like 8 with
fitted heads. It is fixed to the pendant with a similar link.
At the opposite head the chain has a safety element, a curl

225. 14th century earthenware complex
The material, mostly common pottery has some unitary
characteristics:
- the clay is very fast modeled without eliminating all the

impurities and air bubbles.
- the paste is tempered with a lot of sand resulting coarse
surfaces.
- the pieces are fast wheel turned using a lot of water to
smoothen them.
- incomplete oxidizing firing, the fire in the kiln and the
oxygen flux are not enough to fire walls that are thicker
than 2,5-3 mm. Because of this the core had a grayish-blue
color.
We can see three ceramic categories according to the paste:
semi-coarse, medium and fine.
Shapes:
The jar (without handles) is the most common shape;
probably the entire lot comes from the debris of a kitchen.
Vessels with handles are documented by 6 shards, two of
them belonging to pots and four of them to small sized
vessels, probably cups. We noted the shard with the inv.
no. 125, a handle made of fine paste, incompletely fired to
a yellowish-bricky color, decorated with small stamped
rosettes. Also bell shaped lids, bowls and a pitcher have
been documented.
The provisions vessel is represented by a single shard
made of a semi-coarse paste, fast wheel turned, without
decoration. A special element is a wheel turned clay band
that was applied in the lip area. The vessel had no neck, it
had a globular or elongated body and the opening is much
smaller than the maximum diameter (opening diameter of
31 cm), with 7-8 mm thick walls.
Crucible. A fragment that was reduced fired. The paste is
tempered with sand but in a special technique, giving the
vessel a very sturdy, cement like, appearance. The vessel
was fired in a closed kiln, with a very good quality,
complete, reduced firing so it got a gray color. The shape
of this vessel is crucible like, with a very thick everted lip,
while the body continues almost vertically. On the upper
part of the lip, in a leak beak looking part a strongly
imprinted T letter was applied. The diameter of this
vessel is big for a crucible (26 cm at the lip area). The

exterior of the vessel preserves a consistent layer of
carbonized materials, a proof of its long use above a fire.
Most likely this piece comes from Tulln an der Donau
(Austria), a town that still has the letter T on its emblem.

Decoration: mounted knight, looking left, sitting on a
relatively static horse, framed by a late gothic portal
decorated with a lot of vegetation. On his head the knight
has a wide brims hat. The relief of the plate is superficial
so the reading of the decoration is difficult, but the
composition can be recomposed based on analogies.
Usually, this kind of knights wear a short cloak and they
are armed with a crossbow sitting on their shoulder.

Square shaped, short legged, plate stove tiles. Variously
grained paste, but generally compact, homogenized; the
clay was pressed into the mould with a wooden spatula or
a piece of cloth. Oxidized firing to a bricky color in shades
of yellowish-red. The visible face of the tiles can be treated
in different ways: pulverizing a dust of mica, applying a
fine layer of engobe (sometimes it can have yellowish
shades) or of glaze (usually green, rarely brownishyellow). Glazed pieces with more colors, usually a very
beautiful white field were produced by the craftsmen from
Vinu de Jos (199_04_3d; 201_04_6a).
In more simple places these stove tiles keep the shape of
the normal earthenware, without being specially treated.
Decoration: relief networks: geometrical motifs, inside of
which vegetal motifs (often looking like the tree of life).
The central fields are usually presented with stylized
vegetal and geometric motifs. These are usually called
wallpaper decorations, by repeating the same elements.
The decoration is connected from one tile to another,

Short legged, plate stove tiles. Variously grained paste, but
generally fine and medium. Oxidized firing to shades of
bricky color. The pieces were in direct contact with the fire
and so they preserve to the back variable amounts of
grime. The visible face of the tiles has polychromatic
glazes on white with green or blue reflexes, cracked during
the firing glaze covered fields. Generally speaking the
glazes were beautiful and shiny but their original shape is
seldom preserved. The preservation of the glazes depends
on the technical quality of the workshop were they are
produced but it also depends on the conditions of the
environment were they were kept and that discovered.
These pieces were considered luxurious products and they
were destined for comfortable and very well established

Decoration: the visible face of the stove tiles is decorated
with stylized vegetal motifs that are symmetrically
ordered on a perpendicular axis. The corner tiles use half
of the decoration, while the splayed part ports a stylized
rosette framed with leafage. The corners of the oblique
part have a 450 inclination. The big cornice pieces are
shaped like flattened onion bulbs and they are decorated
with a vase holding stylized flowers. The smaller cornice
pieces, with support soles, cut off in spindles were place as
a continuous frieze that hung over the superior stove
cornice. The cornices are formed of tori and cavettes; part
of them is decorated with spindles or a line of stylized
astragalus.

All the pieces are covered in glaze on their visible sides:

the field is white to light blue (made of cobalt and tin
oxides). The relief decorations as well the borders are
turquoise (with a higher proportion of cobalt oxide). One

cornices: l. 20,5 and 21,5 cm., h. 11 cm.
Considering the great number of recovered and restorable
fragments, the reconstruction of the stove is possible. It
had the classical architecture of the late renaissance tile
stoves. It had a socle, the burning/heating chamber, an
upper cornice and a double cornice. It was made by the
Haban craftsmen who settled in Vinu de Jos. Judging the
proportions and the measurements of the plates and of the
cornices this stove had only one burning/heating
chamber. The plates used to create this tile stove are
among the biggest known in Transylvania and the entire
Carpathian Basin.
Dating: about 1666-1687.

light blue, vegetal ornaments made of spindles, palm leafs,
rosettes, hyacinth flowers, tulips, carnations, stylized
palmettes and cartouches with arabesques. All the
fragments belong to ceramic plates that formed wall paper

decorations, made of four plates symmetrically placed
around a central point.
These plates were probably made after 1666, by Haban
craftsmen who were colonized in Vinu de Jos by Prince
Gabriel Bethlen. They probably used the ceramic plates
from Iznik as models, by reproducing more or less
accurately their decorations. The paste and the ornaments
lack the fine quality of the Iznik ceramic plates. The pieces
were destined to complete or replace the ones in the
audience hall, which was probably affected by the 1658
Tartar destruction of the palace. Measurements: the
thickness varies between 1,3-1,5 cm. While the proportions
of the plates were: 25x25 or 26x26 cm.
