BÉLA SZABÓ THE ARMAMENT OF THE KIEVAN RUS IN THE 9™-l 1th CENTURIES ON THE BASIS OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE AND RUSSIAN LITERARY SOURCES (Summary) Kievan Rus led an especially active foreign policy in the 9th-l 1th centuries. Beside its diplomatic attempts, if it was in the interests of the state, regular military campaigns were started in order to reach its aims. I would like to put emphasis on the military activity led against the Byzantine Empire that was regular until the Battle of Arcadiopolis in 970. Hungarian units also took part in this battle as the allies of the Kievan Rus. On the basis of the contemporary sources and scholarly literature we can tell that these campaigns against Byzantium went on synchronously with Hungarian military activity, suggesting alliance. This military activity needed proper army and armament. The aim of my study was to shortly introduce the military strength of the contemporary Kievan Rus, to describe their armament, underlining in the Kievan arsenal the maces and flails. Finally, 1 shortly represent the weapon combination of a contemporary noble warrior known from a recent excavation. Szabó Béla szbela3 6@freemail. hu 374
