KREJČÍ, Leona
The main subject of this diploma thesis is professional and scientific destiny of František Křížek since 1948. It was created on the basis of a study of professional literature and sources stored in the Municipal Museum and Gallery in Dačice and the State District Archive in Jindřichův Hradec. An integral part of the diploma thesis are the memories of two contemporary witnesses of Dačice - his colleague Věra Tomšů and his friend Naděje Jahelková. This thesis begins with the return of František Křížek from the Moravian metropolis of Brno to his hometown. Firstly, it introduces the Dačice city and district archive, where he worked, and at the same time describes the problematic location of this institution. It also briefly explains Křížek's transition to the Museum of Dačice and continues with the overall development of museums since its inception. The thesis also focuses on the researcher's work in this institution and what he was able to build here. The next part deals with the scientific activities, archaeology, and numismatics, during the communist regime in Czechoslovakia. This diploma thesis also briefly discusses his professional publications and the problems associated with it. Last but not least, it points to the problematic travel of scientist abroad at this hard time and the subsequent settlement of this difficulty.

Iconography of Etruscan Coins
Ederová, Kristína ; Kysela, Jan (advisor) ; Militký, Jiří (referee)
This bachelor thesis is devoted to the iconography of coins in ancient Etruria, connected with Etruscan cities. The first part is theoretical and thematically divided into two parts. First of these parts discusses the geography and a brief introduction to the social and economic issues in Etruria. The second part is an introduction to the iconography of Etruscan coins. A few of the most common themes, that occur frequently on individual mintages, are selected and then analyzed in detail. The themes are presented and compared with motifs on Greek or Roman coins, and Etruscan art. For greater clarity is the majority of chosen motifs accompanied with a table, where the occurrence of motifs across the cities is shown. Tables are divided by centuries and mintages, resulting in an overview of the cities, where the motive was used most often. The second part is a catalog of Etruscan coins, broken down by cities. The cities are accompanied by the images of coins and the tables with their denomination, metal and century of their introduction. The aim of this work is to find out what external factors had the greatest influence on the iconography of the Etruscan coins. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
