In the course of the nineteenth century Mexico City was the scene of numerous combats that developed in the context of civil wars and foreign interventions. Its role as the political center of the country caused the upstart armies to seek to consolidate their triumph in a symbolic way with their occupation. Nevertheless, it was also the epicenter of several military movements, one of them that started on January 11, 1858, that detonated the War of Reform. Between then and the 21st of the same month, the capital became a “city of war,” which changed the dynamics of its inhabitants and the authorities established there. The article analyzes the changes that were generated in daily activities, as well as the social impact of the conflagration, and the role the army in this movement inserted in the process of construction and consolidation of the Mexican State.

Los incendios ocurridos en el caserío de la ciudad de Burgos en el devenir del siglo XVIII hicieron imprescindible la adquisición y mantenimiento de una bomba contra el fuego por parte del Ayuntamiento. La construcción de las casas con madera, la quema de carbón y leña en las chimeneas y braseros en los interiores domésticos y la existencia de industrias potencialmente peligrosas en la ciudad pre-industrial hacían preciso, a todas luces, disponer de un sistema anti-incendios eficaz, rápido y funcional con el que atajar el grave peligro que se cernía sobre la población.

Of the way in which the local public administration is organized depends the efficiency of local public affairs management. At local collectivity level, the knowledge of the territorial organization, as well as the establishment by the local public administration authorities of the structural organization of the local administrative system are important for the smooth running of the administration process. From this point of view, this article aims at analyzing the way of organizing the local public administration, both territorially and structurally, with specialization at the level of the territorial administrative unit of Rădăuţi Municipality in Suceava County.

Then, the analysis carried out at the level of the public institution The Municipality Hall of Rădăuţi has highlighted various organizational structures with constant and uninterrupted activity that solve the problems of the this local community.

On the basis of analysis of normative-legal acts, with the involvement of Russian scientists of XIX - beginning of XX centuries and results of modern studies of the development of local self-government in the Russian Empire of the XVII - first quarter of XVIII century the article is focused on issues of regulatory-legal regulation, the ratio of state and local interests in the activities of local administration bodies, relations of the crown (appointed by the Central government, the Czar) and elected bodies of local governance. The Author reveals the motivation of the central government (the Czar) to the formation of a new local government system, its features, functions. The legal bases and the principles of election of officers of local authorities are also discussed. It is concluded that the attempt to introduce in Russia the local municipal city self-government on foreign models was unsuccessful. The Author expresses an opinion on the limited nature of elected bodies of local governance, the primacy of the interests of the central government in their activities.

A fragment of a face vessel from České Budějovice in the context of medieval to modern drinking vessels with anthropomorphic decoration. During the excavation in the courtyard of the České Budějovice town hall in 1996-1997, a fragment of a vessel with an embossed relief in the form of a stylized female face was discovered. The fragment was originally considered as part of an anthropomorphic aquamanile. On the basis of comparative studies of anthropomorphic pottery with embossed relief decoration in the form of human faces, referred to as face-mask jugs (Gesichtsgefäße in German), the find was reinterpreted and ascribed to a group of luxurious tableware which might belong to a group known as face or wedding goblets. The contribution deals with analysis of hitherto scarce examples of medieval anthropomorphic drinking vessels in the territory of Bohemia and Moravia and their foreign analogies which reached our country as long-distance imports or were manufactured as local immitations.

This paper is an introduction to the research project on „Topography of the justice system“ which seeks to visualize the workings of the urban justice system in the early modern era in the Kingdom of Hungary. The authors examines places, objects, artefacts, symbols and rituals tied to the administration of justice in the cities, which include 1) city halls with their outer and inner decoration which represents the power and the autonomy of the city; 2) pillories, stocks and prangers; 3) prisons and torture chambers; and 4) executions sites. Judicial rituals, the omnipresent visual symbolism as the primary means of public communication and the selection of specific motifs to represent justice, all of this reflect the contemporary values and ideals as well as ideas on appropriate punishment.
