A richly furnished Sarmatian period grave from the second half of the 4th or early-5th centuries in Szolnok-Helikopterbázis revealed a young woman that thanks to its greater depth, managed to avoid the looters' attention. The most striking finds were her silver earrings adorned with two Sarmatian coin imitations. She was laid to rest silver three brooches and a silver torque with a lock mechanism with parallels to the north and east. The coin imi…
Excavations in the legionary fortress of Brigetio in 2025
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…

A Small Purse Find from the Legionary Fortress of Brigetio
Preliminary report on the excavations of the legionary bath of Brigetio in 2024
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
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 rare Sarmatian coin imitation in lead from a grave at Hódmezővásárhely
The paper discusses a very rare type of Sarmatian coin imitation cast of lead of which only two other specimens are known. The one from Martfű is best preserved, which is very helpful for the interpretation. This piece was found in the grave of a Sarmatian woman in one of the biggest Sarmatian-period cemeteries in the Carpathian Basin, Hódmezővásárhely-Aranyági-halom. The crouched position of the deceased only adds to the peculiarities of the fin…
Two Sarmatian coin imitations from a Late Sarmatian grave at Békésszentandrás
A child in the Late Sarmatian cemetery at Békésszentandrás-Fabó-tanya was buried with two Sarmatian coin imitations. Both coins were struck with the same obverse die and the reverses of both were decorated with stars and a crescent. The archaeological context of such coins is rarely known, although a few have been recovered from graves. For example, another burial in the same cemetery also contained some, confirming the assumption that these coin…
Short Report on the Excavations in the Legionary Fortress of Brigetio in 2021-2022
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…
Excavation at Brigetio, Komárom/Szőny-Vásártér in 2016
Brigetio, along the Danube limes, was one of the four legionary bases of Pannonia and, thus, one of the most important settlements of the province. The last excavation season so far, conducted by the Eötvös Loránd University and the Klapka György Museum of Komárom, was in 2016. The finds from previous years have been published year by year from 2010. This paper presents a catalogue and evaluation of the finds of the last, 2016, excavation campaig…
Caron limen / Portus Caria
The Cape of Shabla, located 6 km east of the town with the same name, has a very rich archaeological history of some 2,500 years. The research in this area started quite early, in the late 19th century, and became more intense in the second half of the 20th century. In the last two years, Bulgarian archaeologists were joined by a group of Hungarian colleagues and established fruitful cooperation
An exceptional Sarmatian cast medallion with star and crescent
An exceptional find of a so-called Sarmatian coin imitation in the form of a lead amulet came to light at Martfű. The obverse is decorated with a bust facing left, the reverse with the usual crescent and star motif. The piece is cast with a loop and an elaborate frame decoration with segmented rims resembling Roman disc fibulae that were popular with the Sarmatians. These types of coins have so far been known only as pierced or looped copper allo…
The archaeometallurgic examination of the bronze plate belt found in tomb 350 of the Tli graveyard of the Koban culture (South Ossetia)
The population of the Koban culture was an actor of outstanding importance in the Caucasus in the late Bronze Age -early Iron Age period ( 2007). The peoples of the mountains lying between the Ancient East and the steppe transmitted and spread the various cultural and technological elements, objects and object types not only towards the neighbouring areas but quite far, for instance, as far as the Carpathian basin, which can be followed from the …
II. Justinus follisa Aquincumból
A Byzantine follis minted by Justin II in Cyzicus came to light thanks to metal detectors in 2013 in the western part of the civil town of Aquincum. Such finds are rare in Hungary, especially with findspot, but specifically this type has never been found in the Carpathian-basin before. The folles of Justin II are the most common, but still only 18 were previously known from this territory. This coin is the first Byzantine follis from Aquincum, bu…
Excavations in Brigetio in 2020
In 2020, excavations were carried out simultaneously at several locations both in the territory of the legionary fortress and the military town of Brigetio. As a result, new information was gained regarding the structure of the legionary fortress and a number of late Roman period graves were also identified. The most significant result of the campaign was the excavation of an almost intact cellar in the western zone of the canabae
Bound in bronze – a Roman bronze statuette of a barbarian prisoner
The small statuette of a bound barbarian from a Hungarian private collection is an interesting addition to the small group of these similar, although unusually harsh Roman representations of their foes. Although without a known findspot it further strengthens the previous suppositions that these were made and used for an unknown purpose at the limes, their greatest concentration being in Carnuntum
Rare Roman Finds from a Germanic (Quadi) Settlement
During the Roman period, Germanic (Quadi) population settled in the valley of the Ipoly River. The locations of their sites are known thanks to earlier topographical research; however, a detailed evaluation of excavated archaeological assemblages has not been accomplished until recently. Since 2017, we conducted new archaeological investigations at the Ipolytlgyes-TSz-major site. Based on finds recovered from excavations and non-destructive surve…

Additional Data on the Gold Hoard From Víziváros
The gold hoard found in 1994 in the Víziváros south of Aquincum was only briefly published by M. Torbágyi. The 9 aurei from Tiberius to Vespasian, closing in 71 AD were most likely hidden around the middle of the 70s. New data have since emerged on the find context make it likely that it was uncovered within the camp of the ala I Hispanorum Auriana, which was stationed there from 69 to the end of the 80s
Szarmata Érmek Fejdíszként Egy Békésszentandrási Késő Szarmata Női Sírból
Békésszentandrás-Fabó-tanyán egy késő szarmata sírba temetett nő fején négy szarmata érmet viselt fejdíszként, holdsarlót és csillagokat mintázó hátlappal. Az ilyen vereteket már korábban is amulettként interpretálta a tudomány, amely összhangban áll a lunulák elterjedtségével ezen népesség körében. Az együttes külön érdekessége, hogy az eltemetett nő az érmeket a férfiportréval kifelé viselte. Four perforated Sarmatian coins were uncovered on th…
Perforated Roman coins from the Aquincum-Graphisoft cemetery
22 perforated coins were excavated in the Aquincum-Graphisoft cemetery, the eastern graveyard of the civil town, primarily found in child graves. This is surprising compared to the general scarcity of these pierced coins in larger numbers. Most peculiar are the coins with three perforations that are difficult to interpret, and are mostly found in the Middle Danubian limes. The closest parallels are from the Viminacian cemeteries in Moesia Superio…
A republican plated denarius from Aquincum
A puzzling plated republican denarius was found decades ago in the civil town of Aquincum. Due to its worn state its identification was troublesome, but it turned out to be an imitation of M. Furius’ coin minted in 119 BC. It is unique for Aquincum, and also quite rare in Pannonia, which raises a number of questions. Even more perplexing are the two mountings on the obverse, which served to fasten the coin to some other object. It is unfortunatel…
Some notes on the hadrianeum reliefs
The reliefs of the Hadrianeum in Rome still pose a lot of difficulties even several centuries after their discovery. This meant a number of varying identification proposals from different scholars. Some of them are too fragmentary to ever to be solved, but in this paper I propose some modifications to the previous readings based on iconographic parallels

Net Present Value Versus Internal Rate of Return
The economic professional literature which deals with investment decisions can be characterised in general that the net present value shows objective picture for the decision maker while the internal rate of returnnot even mentioning other "competitors" -have numerous mistakes therefore its expressiveness is limited. The net present value -determined by the minimally expected yield (calculated interest rate) -shows that how amount of wealth growt…
Die Pannonia-Münze des Aelius Caesar im Spiegel der Nachfolgepolitik Hadrians
Aelius Caesar’s Pannonia coin in light of Hadrian’s succession politics. Pannonia province’s first securely identified personification is found on one of Aelius Caesar’s coin reverses, minted in 137. A.D. Its occurrence can be explained with that he was the newly designated heir to the throne, who was sent to govern both Pannonia Inferior and Superior. Its iconography that is based on Hadrian’s Concordia exercituum coin from 119–120/121, has a cl…
The Biesheim cameo – a reinterpretation
In this paper I will analyse in depth the Biesheim cameo to which only minor attention was paid until now. There are still some parts of the interpretation that do not fit well together. This is why I have tried to undertake a thorough iconographic analysis that resolved in a new interpretation. In my opinion, the defeated enemy on the cameo can only be Armenia, instead of a Quadic king. Then again the rider is not likely to be Commodus, as previ…
Two new Roman bronzes with Suebian nodus from Brigetio
The depiction of foreign men with their hair tied in a knot is a well known subject in Roman art. This was the distinctive hairstyle of some Germanic tribes. According to Tacitus this nodus was typically worn by free Suebian men by combing their long hair to the front and tying it together.1 These representations are most usually found in the provinces along the border of the Germanic tribes, but some are also known from Rome itself and even from…
Bronze head with Suebian nodus from Aquincum
In 2012 a small head with Suebian nodus was uncovered in Aquincum, the first one ever from this site. Despite filling a gap on the map and thus bringing us somewhat closer to understanding these interesting representations, it still leaves a number of questions unanswered
Preliminary report on the field surveys and excavations in the vicinity of Berettyóújfalu
The staff of the Institute of Archaeological Sciences at the Eötvös Loránd University carried out rescue excavationsprior to the construction of the M4 motorway in Hajdú-Bihar County in 2015. Within the frames of this project theopportunity was given to unearth approximately 5 hectares of a multi-period site east of the city of Berettyóújfalu.Before this excavation systematic field surveys had been carried out on the same site in a 24 hectares la…
