Bronze Age in Romania

The local bronze-aged economy was based on rearing livestock (sheep, goats and pigs).

At this time, the artistic output also significantly increased, for example the Gârla Mare culture who created intricate clay statuettes.

[2] In the Middle Bronze Age (c. 2200–1600/1500 BC), the population of Romania and neighboring countries was demarcated by the appearance of several major cultures.

[3] In the Romanian territory, there are three known bronze-aged sanctuaries: Sălacea, Bihor County (Ottomány culture, phase II).

However, the labrys site is frequently associated with the moon and can be a symbol of a goddess of vegetation, the forerunner of Demeter, who, on Mycenaean seals, is found under a tree.
