  • 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…

    Open AccessRobert Müller, Bence Simon et al.ARTICLEArchaeologiai Értesítő2025

    In recent years, research into Roman marking irons gets more intensive as the number of the identified objects steadily increases. In this paper we attempted to collect all the known signacula ferrea from the territory of Pannonia and added three recently discovered pieces to this collection. The identified types, inscriptions and the findspots match the tendencies of other Roman military provinces

  • Predictive Modelling Results in the Study of Roman Roads in Pannonia, Hungary

    Open AccessAndrás Bödőcs, Bence SimonARTICLEActa Archaeologica2025References: 2

    The aim of our study is to present the research and prediction possibilities of GIS -based least-cost corridor ( LCC ) analysis on Roman roads in northern Pannonia. The advantage and disadvantages of studying Roman roads in Pannonia is the availability of ancient itineraries, the stations of which and thus their routes have been identified in various ways by historians and archaeologists over the last 150 years. However, the topographical charact…

  • 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…

  • Roman settlement pattern and LCP modelling in ancient North-Eastern Pannonia (Hungary)

    Open AccessBence SimonARTICLEDissertationes Archaeologicae2016

    Roman times are known as an epoch when man subdued nature all over the \textit{orbis terrarum}, however all humans were and are still bound by certain environmental conditions, therefore in settling a special dichotomy can be observed. In my present study I am analysing the Roman settlement patterns of the North-Eastern part of Pannonia by evaluating field-walking material and results of excavations. The classification of the sites is mainly base…
