Through geographical, historical, economical, social, and cultural influences, the traditional dress in Rožnov and its environs developed in a typical form of clothing, which differed from other types of Wallachian folk costume. Its appearance has been documented by written, picture and tangible sources since the late-18th century, as well as by expert literature. Nevertheless, a variant of men’s brunclek with different solution of the back part escaped the attention of the respondents and researchers. The author of this study identifies the above type of brunclek as a brunclek of Rožnov type with the double Princess cut of the back part. Based on comparing works in museum depositaries, the study offers the sight of making and using this different form of brunclek including the cut modification.

In the Czech Republic, St Nicholas door-to-door processions are among the most important traditions, being often considered the highlight of Advent. It also applies to the region of Hornolidečsko where the first masked figures appear after the All Souls´ Day and roam around villages until the St. Nicholas Day. Devils that appear in Roman-Catholic villages are an integral part of cultural heritage not only in the corresponding villages, but also in the entire region. This study describes not only the present-day form of the St Nicholas door-to-door processions and disguises used at it, but attention is also paid to the most significant changes that influenced the form of flying, and shifted the procession´s form to the present-day one. A part of the study deals with historical development of these traditions. The goal of this study is to introduce the theme of the St Nicholas procession and its attributes, using the analysis of particular factors which influence its form even beyond the borders of the Czech Republic. In the course of the research, special attention was paid to several aspects that form this phenomenon, such as organization of the procession and identity of both active and passive participants. The study shows a research sample of this tradition´s bearers as well as motivating elements, thanks to which the tradition is still alive and passed down from generation to generation. In addition to these facts, the work looks into the form of support from the villages, but also into diverse opinions of inhabitants in the researched region regarding the inscription of the St Nicholas door-to-door procession on the List of Intangible Elements of Traditional Folk Culture of the Czech Republic. A part of the study answers the question to what extent is the tradition as a cultural heritage indelibly integrated in the region of southern Moravian Wallachia in its authentic and almost unchanged form. The contribution is an outcome of the GIS project in quantitative and qualitative analyses and interpretations of traditional folk culture, which is solved within the programme of Specific Research by the Institute of European Ethnology of the Faculty of Arts of Masaryk University.

Starting with the end of the 1st c. AD, the arrival of the Sarmatian communities in Wallachia (the area between the Danube River and the Carpathian Mountains, bounded on the west by the Olt River) and Moldavia (denomination that designates in this study the territory between the Prut River and the Carpathian Mountains) is archaeologically attested. Sarmatian graves in Wallachia are dated to three stages, which represent as many moments of settlement of these communities in Wallachia: the late 1st c. AD and the first half of the 2nd c. AD; the late 2nd c. and the first half of the 3rd c. AD; the late 3rd c. AD. From a total of around 270 Sarmatian graves in Wallachia, Roman imports were discovered in 71 of them. The purpose of this discussion is not so much the typological analysis of the Roman items, but rather the characteristics of the ritual and funerary inventory of the graves in which such items were deposited: territorial distribution, grave layout, corpse deposition, age and sex of the deceased, grave goods. Based on the typology of the Roman objects, the hypothesis of trade is the most appropriate explanation for the way the Roman products reached Sarmatian communities from Wallachia. The conclusion is that the Sarmatian burials with Roman grave goods do not have particular features regarding the layout of the grave, the funerary ritual or the treatment of the inventory deposited compared to the rest of the graves in which no items produced on the Roman territory were found. Although, in some cases, the items from the Roman Empire can be counted among the status symbols used in the funerary ritual, it is nevertheless notable that they do not play this role in themselves, but in association with other features of the layout of the graves or the inventory.
