Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we will refer to a period which itself brought changes (we will refer here to the main period of Bronze Age: the middle one), among which the most important is the spreading of the solar cult, a fact also reflected in art (given the general background of the entire Bronze Age, which had brought social and artistic progress, if we were to insist on the ceramics which tries to reproduce pots made by metal). With one of these cultures, we overcome the middle period of Bronze Age, the last phases of the culture Verbicioara chronologically belong to the late period (which also brought changes, but especially on the plan of the population's instability). The three cultures which characterize Middle Bronze Age in Banat and Oltenia, Vatina, Verbicioara and the cultural group Balta Sărată, come with special accomplishments, especially regarding ceramics Ŕ the pottery of the entire Bronze Age has as feature the treatment of pots in order to look alike metal ones.
