According to the "Annals of traska", King Casimir, having gathered an army of 20,000, entered Ruthenia again, where, destroying several fortified towns and strongholds, he took control of them to his advantage 3.

The coin was found randomly by treasure hunters, eventually recovered and donated to the Historical Museum of Sanok by Robert Fedyk. It is the second find of a late Roman solidus in the Upper San River basin. Several years ago a solidus of Valentinian III (425-455) had been found in Prusiek, Sanok County. Both coins belong to the early Migration Period finds horizon in this area. This consists of few bronze buckles, a sword, and fragments of a Hunnic cauldron finds. In all likelihood, the solidi found their way into the Upper San River basin as a consequence of the Hunnic-Germanic relations.

W zbiorach Prywatnego Muzeum Zamkowego „Kamieniec” w Odrzykoniu przechowywany jest miecz odkryty przypadkowo w rzeczce Panna, przepływającej przez miejscowość Zyndranowa (woj. podkarpackie). Zachowany niemal w całości zabytek reprezentuje typ XVIa, 1 (1a), I1 (I1b) w klasyfikacji R.E. Oakeshotta. Na mieczu znajdują się trzy znaki: w pobliżu nasady trzpienia wybito puncą znak kowalski w kształcie litery S, umieszczonej we wklęsłym polu, a po obu stronach głowni – naprzeciw siebie – umieszczono dwa różne znaki miecznicze, inkrustowane żółtym metalem. Jeden z nich to znak rozwidlonego krzyża w podwójnym okręgu, z kolei drugi jest trudniejszy do interpretacji. Przypomina gotycką literę A, również zamkniętą w podwójnym okręgu, ale obecność pionowej kreski w domniemanej literze może wskazywać, iż mamy tutaj do czynienia z inną możliwością, np. kombinacją liter AA lub AR. Miecze analogiczne do okazu z Zyndranowej były powszechne na terenie Polski, głównie pomiędzy połową XIV a połową XV stulecia, z możliwością zawężenia tej chronologii do początków XV stulecia.

The article concerns the discovery of the new Przeworsk culture burial ground, which is only the second known burial site from the Upper San River basin, beside of necropolis located in Prusiek site 25. The site 33 in Pakoszówka was excavated completely during field works carried out between 2015-2018. During the excavations, a number of richly furnished burials were discovered, including extraordinary double warrior grave. Beside of graves where metal parts of weaponry were found, a few graves without rich inventory were discovered. The site is dated to the end of the Early Roman Period and the late Phase C1 of the Younger Roman Period. The burial ground in Pakoszówka corresponds well with the recent funeral finds from Rankovce located in Eastern Slovakia (Košice Region). Together with finds from the Upper Tisa River basin, it indicates migration of the Przeworsk culture population to the areas bordering the Roman Empire in this turbulent time and the special role it played in the events of the end of the second century A.D.
