  • Excavations in the legionary fortress of Brigetio in 2025

    Open AccessDávid Bartus, Melinda Szabó et al.ARTICLEDissertationes Archaeologicae2026

    Research of the legionary camp at Brigetio began in 2015. Over the past 10 years, excavations have extended to the principia, a Late Roman apsidal basilica-type building, and the military bathhouse. During the 2025 season, a surface area of 7,100 m2 was excavated. The surfaces were situated relatively far from one another, functioning as test trenches across the praetentura. Ground-penetrating radar surveys had revealed the locations of several b…

  • Preliminary report on the excavations of the legionary bath of Brigetio in 2024

    Open AccessDávid Bartus, Melinda Szabó et al.ARTICLEDissertationes Archaeologicae2025

    The excavation of the legionary camp at Brigetio began in 2021. Throughout the last four campaigns, 2,200 square meters of the baths were unearthed, which span a total of well over 6,000 square meters. In 2024 the work continued across four surfaces. The excavations here shed a light on the size of the bath, which extended westward over a much larger area than previous excavations and radar surveys had suggested. In connection with the heating sy…

  • Short report on the excavations of the Legionary Bath of Brigetio in 2023

    Open AccessDávid Bartus, Melinda Szabó et al.ARTICLEDissertationes Archaeologicae2024

    Since 2015, excavations have been carried out in different parts of the legionary fortress in Brigetio. Due to the systematic geophysical surveys of the praetentura, a large building complex came to light, which could be identified as the bath of the fortress, even before the fieldworks started in the territory. In the area of this building complex, the excavations started in 2021, and continued in the next two years. Now, an approximately 1800 m…

  • A caricaturistic portrait of Ovid from Brigetio (Komárom/Szőny, Hungary)

    Open AccessDávid Bartus, László BorhyARTICLEArchaeologiai Értesítő2024

    In 2015 a preventive excavation was carried out preceding the laying of an optical cable in close vicinity to the legionary fortress of Brigetio. An otherwise regular Roman terracotta roof tile was found during the excavation, with the image of a bearded man and the inscribed name of Ovidius Naso. The depiction of the poet leans more towards caricature rather than a realistic portrait, but since we do not know of any ancient representations of Ov…

  • Short Report on the Excavations in the Legionary Fortress of Brigetio in 2021-2022

    Open AccessDávid Bartus, Melinda Szabó et al.ARTICLEDissertationes Archaeologicae2023References: 1

    While the legionary fortress of Brigetio is one of the key sites in the province of Roman Pannonia, its inner structure and buildings are almost unknown. Although the retentura of the legionary fortress is almost entirely covered by modern buildings, the praetentura can be researched using remote sensing methods. Over the past few years, systematic excavations took place in the praetentura, based on results of the geophysical surveys. A large bui…
