Dinamică planimetrică și importanţă strategică
Castrul de auxiliari de la Boroșneu Mare, din județul Covasna, a fost un punct cheie în sistemul defensiv al provinciei romane Dacia. Era situat pe o terasă înaltă în valea Râului Negru. Rolul său principal era de a controla drumul strategic care lega interiorul provinciei de Dunărea de Jos prin trecătoarea Buzău. Fortificaţia făcea parte dintr-o rețea de centre de putere, printre care Angvstia-Brețcu, Olteni și Cvmidava-Râșnov, care erau special…
Cincșor Roman Fort
The 2025 geophysical survey conducted around the Cincșor Roman Fort (Brașov County) aimed to reconstruct the planimetry and to identify the internal structures of the fortification and its adjacent civil settlement. The research employed high-resolution magnetometric measurements, complemented by Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) investigations. The results allowed the delineation of the fort’s perimeter, the estimation of its dimensions, the identi…
Fortificaţia de la Ungra. Cercetări magnetometrice recente
Fortificaţia de la Ungra reprezintă unul dintre punctele de interes pentru arheologia epocii primelor secole ale erei creștine din cuprinsul judeţul Braşov. Situl arheologic este situat în zona intersecției a două rute de comunicare, Valea Homoroadelor şi Defileul Oltului, prin munții Perşani. Fortificaţia a fost studiată iniţial prin prospecțiuni de suprafaţă, urmate de cercetări geofizice şi apoi prin săpături arheologice, situl fiind apreciat …
Die Hunnen kommen! Zur Deutung den Brandschuttschichten und Zerstörungshorizonten innerhalb der spätkaiserzeitlichen Fundstellen der Sântana de Mures-Černjachov-Kultur / The Huns are coming! On the in…
In the collective memory of many European people, the Huns are perceived as one of the most violent gentes west of the Dniester, which might have committed many atrocities, acts of vandalism, and destructions in the territories they crossed. The image of these violent Huns influenced the archaeological research as well. One can often find mentions of a so-called Hunnic phase (Hunnenzeit), associated with levels of violent destruction in the Sânta…
Provincializing Roman Dacia
The Apulum Roman Villa Project (ARVP) examines the “provincialization” and “de-provincialization” of Roman Dacia through the archaeological micro-history of a villa site at Oarda-Bulza, just outside one of the provincial capitals at Apulum. As one of the first villas in Dacia to be excavated scientifically and from multidisciplinary perspectives, the site promises to shed new light on the interplays among forms of production, cultural consumption…
Unhiding Forested Landscapes. The Archaeological Index of South-Eastern Carpathians
Starting with late 2018, a new archaeological research project has been unfolding in the framework funded by the Romanian Governmental Unit for Research and Development (UEFISCDI) dedicated to top fundamental research, as one of the few winners of 2016 edition (the single to date) of ‘Complex Projects for Frontier Research’ competition. The Project, whose aims and methods will be shortly presented further, is entitled ‘Hidden Landscapes: Explorat…
Alexandru Popa, The Frontiers of the Roman Empire in Eastern Dacia. Preliminary Results of Research Conducted in the Context of the Romanian National Limes Program
The visible and invisible traces of the Roman Frontier in Dacia have been, for quite a long time, one of the most representative archaeological sites in Romania, and especially in Transylvania. On one hand, the Roman frontier in Transylvania, also known as Limes, symbolises a border between the GreekRoman world and the local civilisations found in the regions north of the Danube. On the other hand, we rather deal with a large contact zone between…
Alexandru Popa, Frontiera Imperiului Roman din Dacia în drum spre Lista patrimoniului mondial. Pro bleme și responsabilităţi pentru cercetarea arheologică, protecția patrimoniu lui și turism / The Lim…
Today, limes is an en vogue term in Romania. Scientific research, heritage protection and, more recently, politic discourse – they all deal, directly or indirectly, with issues regarding the Frontiers of the Roman Empire in today’s Romania. In the context of nominating the Frontiers of the Roman Empire as a serial site of UNESCO World Heritage, each of the previously mentioned domains has its responsibilities towards the monument itself. In this …
Castrul și băile romane de la Hoghiz – rezultatele recente ale prospecțiunilor geofizice
This study presents the results of the geophysical surveys undertaken in the Roman fort and the civil settlement at Hoghiz, the largest auxiliary fort in the eastern part of Dacia. It played an important role in defending the mountain pass between the Dacia Inferior and Dacia Superior, garrisoning over time several military units. Within the LIMES National Program framework, we repeatedly surveyed the site in several campaigns of field-walking, d…
Un nou fort roman la Cumidava-Râşnov
This study presents the most relevant results of the geophysical surveys carried out in the framework of the LIMES National Program within the Râşnov - Cumidava fort and civil settlement. The Râșnov Roman Fort was considered in its first phase, namely between 101–118 AD, as a component part of the northern frontier of the province of Moesia Inferior, which would have been extended at that time also in the south-east of Transylvania. The strategic…
Małgorzata Daszkiewicz, Michael Meyer, Octavian Munteanu, Vasile Iarmulschi, Pottery found at the Horodca Mică and Ulmu Iron Age settlements – results of archaeoceramological analysis
One of the major questions of the Pre-Roman Iron Age settlements in the East part of the Carpathians Region is the relationship between the Getic culture and the Poieneşti-Lukaşevka culture. There are any connections between the settlers of both cultures, or are we dealing with a demolition of the settlements and a complete resettlement by “immigrants” from the north part of Europe? The “getics” pottery in the settlements of the Poieneşti-Lukaşev…
Câteva consemnări asupra stadiului studierii vaselor din sticlă din hinterlandul daco–moesic
Bei der Untersuchung der Forschungsgeschichte zu den kaiserzeitlichen Glasgefäßen in unserem Untersuchungsgebiet lässt sich festhalten, dass diese Fundkategorie weniger Beachtung als andere Importwaren fand. Die Gründe dafür sind, wie Ion Ioniţă vorsichtig formulierte – durch „das Fehlen der Fachliteratur und die wenigen Kenntnisse der Autoren betreffs der Glaswaren, durch ihre Seltenheit und besonders den fast immer schlechten Erhaltungszustand―…
