  • 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…

  • Child graves from Brigetio

    Open AccessRita Helga OlaszARTICLEDissertationes Archaeologicae2026

    The cemeteries of Brigetio have been excavated since the 1920s, but a significant portion of the material has never been published. The best-researched part of the site is the western cemetery of the military town. Half of the known graves, more than 750, are from this cemetery. Unfortunately, a huge part of the documentation of the various excavations is missing, which makes the evaluation of these graves problematic. The focus of my PhD dissert…

  • 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…

The paper presents the preliminary results of these investigations, focused on the layout of the fort and the relative chronology of the site, based on the data collected during the 20…

  • 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…

  • Excavations in Brigetio in 2020

    Open AccessDávid Bartus, László Borhy et al.ARTICLEDissertationes Archaeologicae2021References: 1

    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
