Fortificatia quadriburgium (?) de la pestera Veterani din Clisura Dunării

Nu este doar un monument impresionant al naturii, ci și un sit arheologic multistratificat cu o istorie foarte bogată. Fortificarea grotei este sigură pentru perioada Evului Mediu și epoca modernă. Urmele epocii romane sunt mai puțin inteligibile, specialiștii ezitând între a o recunoaște ca așezare pescărească care la un moment dat, în epoca romană târzie, ar fi putut fi fortificată și a o clasifica ca peșteră sacră sau chiar mithraeum. Așa cum este și firesc, poziția sa strategică în zona strâmtorii Cazanelor Dunării a făcut ca acest loc neobișnuit să fie inclus în lista UNESCO a Limesului Dunărean al Imperiului Roman. În rândurile următoare, încercăm să descifrăm caracterul ruinelor romane de la Peștera Veterani (Peskabara) coroborând toate sursele pe care le avem la îndemână: arheologice, epigrafice, arhivistice și cartografice. Suntem de părere că în fața grotei a existat începând de la sfârșitul secolului al III-lea d.Hr. un mic fort (asemănător unui quadriburgium) cu un mic port adiacent, la fel apărat de ziduri.

The contribution of the italian architect Giovanni Morando Visconti to the knowledge of the antiquities of Roman Dacia

The House of Austria benefited through the Holy League from all the support of Western Christianity (except France), including the Pope of Rome encouraged Italian cities that were in a permanent rivalry to stop the internal wars and send all their economic support and military to stop the extensive Ottoman attacks aimed at conquering Vienna. In this context of the enlistment in the Habsburg army of mercenaries from all over the world of the Holy Roman Empire, a whole series of Italian nobles, with good technical and humanistic knowledge, sought to make military fortune and glory by fighting in the Austrian "Great War". Turkish (1683-1699). Among those who made a career in the imperial army as an engineer and military architect leaving his mark on the Transylvanian cities is Giovanni Morando Visconti, an exceptional figure who became close to General Eugene of Savoy and the architect who enjoyed the highest confidence in the emperor and the courtly council of war. The memory of Visconti and his valuable activity is best preserved in Alba Iulia, the fortress of Vauban, which he designed and where he died of the plague, during its construction. He also left us the first printed map of Transylvania and the neighboring territories, on which are marked a whole series of civil localities and fortifications, but also Roman ruins. His work is extremely valuable and useful even to archaeologists today.

Câteva observaţii în legătură cu fragmentele ceramice de provenienţă romană în vestul Banatului de câmpie

Die feinen Waren römischer Herkunft, wie Amphoren, gestempelte polierte Keramik und Terra Sigillata wurden von den Forschern als Importprodukte gedeutet, als Luxusgeschirr der barbarischen Aristokratie. Aufgrund einer Analyse der im Donau-Theiss-Raum entdeckten Terra-Sigillata-Funde konnten die Forscher belegen, dass der Handel mit Luxusgeschirr aus den Limesprovinzen auch dieses Gebiet beeinflusst hat. Aus diesem Grund lassen sich die Tonscherben der unterschiedlichen römischen Luxusgefäße (aus dem 1.-2. Jh.), die im 3.-4. Jh. im barbarischen Umfeld des Römischen Reiches auftauchen, sind nur schwerlich als Importware zu deuten. Bei manchen Funden handelt es sich um einzelne Tonscherben, die sich nicht in die Kategorie der lokalen (zu Bruch gegangenen) Gebrauchskeramik einordnen lassen. Einige dieser Funde sind an ihrer Bruchstelle mit Schleifspuren versehen, ein Sachverhalt, der auf eine Neuverwendung der Scherben hinweist. Diese Tatsache deutet darauf hin, dass die späten Sarmaten die Scherben der schönen polierten Luxusgefäße römischer Herkunft als Rohstoff wieder verwendet haben. Das Erscheinungsbild dieser Keramikgegenstände gibt uns Grund zur Annahme, dass es sich hier wohl nur um Spielsteine handeln kann. Ob die Sarmaten aus römischen Keramik Teile eines römischen Spieles angefertigt haben? ... das können wir nur vermuten. Es ist bekannt, dass die barbarischen Völkerschaften, die nahe des Limes lebten, von dem römischen "Lifestyle" in großem Maße beeinflusst waren. Doch Trifunovici, der die sarmatischen Funde aus Ratsko ausgegraben hat, ist der Meinung, dass es sich eher um ein barbarisches Spiel handelt, bei dem die Steine verschiedener Farben und Formen auf eine Linie oder einen Stock geworfen wurden. Gewinner der Runde war jener Spieler, dem es gelang, den Spielstein am nächsten zum Ziel zu werfen. Die römischen Keramikscherben wurden zur Spielsteinanfertigung gewählt, da ihre intensive rote oder weiß-gelbliche Farbe auf dem Spielplatz leicht zu bemerken und zu verfolgen war.

Population dynamics at the spas of Roman Dacia. Case study: the population of Băile Herculane

Social mobility, along with the presence of urban elites from various towns, passing through, can shed some light on the renown enjoyed by the Băile Herculane hot springs during the Roman and Late Roman periods. The authors also attempt to research the local religious life, as well as the layout of the settlement's sacred enclosures, an endeavour never before attempted. The results of such an analysis, in comparison with other spa resorts in Dacia, enables the possibility to understand how the town and its public edifices, dominant during the Roman period, developed, as well as the urban layout of Băile Herculane. Rezumat. Prezentul studiu analizează pe baza descoperirilor epigrafice și a surselor cartografice importanța stațiunii balneare de la Băile Herculane între celelalte stațiuni al Daciei Romane. Mobilitatea socială, precum și prezența elitelor urbane din diverse localități aflate în trecere pe aici pot oferi un indiciu privind renumele pe care l-au avut aceste izvoare termale de la Băile Herculane în epoca romană și romană târzie. Cercetarea vieții religioase și a topografiei sacre a așezării este un alt subiect atins de autori, un studiu ce nu a mai fost întreprins până în momentul de față. O asemenea analiză-comparând cu situația din alte stațiuni balneare ale provinciei Dacia-dă posibilitatea de a înțelege mai bine felul în care s-a dezvoltat așezarea și edificiile publice care au dominat în epoca romană precum și peisajul urban de la Băile Herculane.

It comprises a military fort with its civil settlement and the remains of other structures related to them. The environment around Tibiscum makes it interesting also from the geological point of view. The Timiş River flowing along the fort changed its riverbed regularly in the past, causing troubles to the inhabitants and now to the archaeologists. The broader area around Tibiscum has been only partly researched and still awaits further investigations. The goal of our two-year research was a better understanding of the ancient landscape around Tibiscum and a spatial allocation of settlements and infrastructure. A set of various methods has been implemented to cover the largest area available for the surveys without using excavation methods. Non-destructive survey allowed to collect data which led to the new conclusions about the settlement complex.Following the analysed ...

We know little about the roman settlement and exploitation of any information is important to write the history of this place. The stone coffins found in the necropolis of Dierna and preserved in diffrent museums offer us relevant information about the ancient population here and they funeral beliefs. Such a category of materials are the few limestone coffins from Dierna, of whose existence we already know from the beginning of the last century that adorned the exhibition of the museum from Timișoara. Of these monuments (a large adult coffin, a child sarcophagus and a small oval stone bowl used increasingly likely for the burial of a newborn child) will be analysed in this paper.

The settlement of the Hungarian horde in the late nineth-century AD Pannonia was made with the consent of the Byzantine Emperor. In the following decades, these nomadic people terrorized the entire Western Europe with their raids. They destroyed the region of the Po River and the Venetian trade was affected on the North Adriatic coast by the horde's archers. Their defeat at Lechfeld in 955 by the Roman-German havy cavalry of Emperor Otto I stopped the westward march of the Hungarians, forcing them to give up nomadic life and slowly start their process towards Christianization. Both the Holy Roman Emperor and the Papacy would then subsequently support Catholic missions to convert the Hungarian tribal leaders. Benedictines made the greatest effort to bring them to the "true faith." The transformation into a Catholic Hungarian state was achieved under Ki...
