The next episodes of "The History of Romania in One Object", created in partnership with the Museum of National History and Archaeology in Constanța, will focus on artifacts and objects found in the culturally diverse province of Dobrogea (Dobruja), a Southeastern region of Romania bordering the Black Sea, whose rich historical texture was woven by Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman influences. The second of the six objects in focus is the amazing Glykon Snake or the Fantastic Snake, the representation of a protective deity of home and a god of fertility whose cult was very fashionable and widespread in the Roman Empire of the 2nd Century AD. Video presentation and text by historian Irina Sodoleanu. Film concept by Cristian Cealera and Constantin Țițineanu.
