Roman Dacia refers to the province established by the Roman Empire in the region of modern-day Romania and Moldova, following the conquest of Dacia in 106 AD. It served as a significant military and economic zone, characterized by Romanization, urban development, and integration into the broader Roman imperial system until its abandonment in the 3rd century AD.

The application of hyperspectral imaging in the field of cultural heritage investigation is growing rapidly. In this study, short wavelength infrared hyperspectral imaging (960-2500 nm) has been explored as a potential non-invasive technique for in situ mapping of corrosion products on bronze sculptures. Two corrosion products, brochantite and antlerite, commonly found on the surfaces of outdoor bronze monuments, were considered. Their spatial distribution was investigated on the surface of the bronze sculpture The Man with the Key by Auguste Rodin in Oslo. The results demonstrate that hyperspectral imaging combined with image analysis algorithms can display the distribution of the two corrosion products in different areas (unsheltered and partially sheltered) of the sculpture.

The archaeology School from Cluj and the study of Roman religion in Dacia. The article examines the genesis and development of the so-called "Cluj school" of ancient history and archaeology, a scholarly tradition that is difficult to define but became institutionally structured after 1919 through the University of Upper Dacia, the Institute of Classical Studies, the Institute of History of the Romanian Academy, and the Cluj History Museum. Constantin Daicoviciu played a central role, formulating in the 1940s the major research directions: the predominance of Oriental cults in Roman Dacia, the syncretism and rapid Romanization of both local deities and the indigenous population, and the late diffusion of Christianity, regarded as a foundation of Daco-Roman continuity. The first generation of Cluj archaeologists and epigraphists (C. Daicoviciu, O. Floca, M. Macrea, I. I. Russu) inherited the legacy of late-19th-century Hungarian scholarship and consolidated V. Pârvan's program. Subsequent generations (1960s-1990s) continued to pursue the same themes-Oriental cults, the persistence of indigenous beliefs, and early Christianity-though with shifting emphases shaped by ideological context. Methodologically, research remained largely archaeological and epigraphic, rarely moving beyond a positivist level, while interpretation was dominated by the German paradigm of Roman religion as a cold, ritualized system, contrasted with the more appealing Oriental cults. Overall, the study of religion in Roman Dacia was subordinated to the Daco-Romanist program, seeking to explain both Romanization and the continuity of the local population.

The socioeconomic need for reorganisation of Romania's territory serves as the main objective in developing a model of administrative-territorial organisation based on a geographical axis, which can be highly useful in understanding and managing resources and regional development more efficiently. In the case of the hydrographical axis Bistrița Ardeleană-Șieu, the development and interaction located along this axis are investigated. At the level of Bistrița-Năsăud County, the design of the UAT (administrative-territorial unit) Bistrița Ardeleană-Șieu, which includes the following UATs, is analysed:

Between September 2022 and June 2023, preventive archaeological research was carried out at the Conduratu 1 site, intersected by the route of the A7 highway, Lot 1, near the town of Mizil. As a result of the research, 1842 archaeological features were identified, attributed to the Sântana de Mureș culture, as well as to the 16th–17th, 18th–19th, and 20th centuries. These features included a significant number of pits, pit‑houses, household annexes, pottery workshops, wells, animal deposits, and inhumation graves, among which was a princely tomb.

The site of Apulum I, Colonia Aurelia Apulensis was impacted by public infrastructure works in the modern city of Alba Iulia, carried out during 2023. Here, during an archaeological supervision on Regimentul V Vânători Street, no. 88, in the Roman province of Dacia, the first and only stone relief depicting Priapus-the god of fertility and fecundity, protector of gardens, orchards, vineyards, and maritime tradewas discovered. Positioned at the entrance of a building, the relief had an apotropaic function, guarding against the evil eye, malevolent spirits, envy, and similar threats. The god is depicted in an unusual form, kneeling, in profile, holding his greatly oversized erect penis with his left hand. A similar profile representation in relief is found in a piece from Pompeii, at the bakery of Modestus. Generally, the god is portrayed both in statues and reliefs standing, with an erect phallus, dressed in a tunic or mantle lifted to hold fruits and flowers. The relief can be dated to the period AD 235-260.

In this article the authors discuss the local specificities of the cult of Magna Mater – Cybele in Roman Dacia. Although, the main aim of the article is not to fulfill the great gap of the literature on the cult – being one of the less researched topic in the Roman religious studies of Dacia – but more to shape the outlines of further studies on the topic, reanalyzing the historical context and the main features of the cult in the province and reinterpreting some of the epigraphic and sculptural monuments. The cult was spread in military environments merely by romanised elements came from danubian provinces. There are six iconographic representations of Cybele in roman Dacia made by stone: marble (4), tuff (1) and calcareous sandstone (1). There is no cult or votive image of Attis in roman Dacia. The iconographic style of the goddess’s representations is the following: the deity sitting on the throne, accompanied by lions, wearing chiton and himation, keeping patera in the right hand and the tympanon in the left. The existence of sanctuaries is problematic, but it seems that a cult edifice has existed at Drobeta, on the left bank of Danube, in the southern Dacia. The epigraphic sources are very few, a number of eight inscriptions were discovered along the time, the most of them (four) at Apulum, the biggest urban center of the province. In spite of its development in the scale of the entire Empire, this cult was worshiped by small religious communities in Roman Dacia.

The scope of this scientific endeavour is the analysis of the Roman funeral monument, recently recovered by the judicial bodies from a certain individual from Alba Iulia. Upon the presentation of the method of recovery of the monument, the authors refer to an unfortunate implications’ phenomenon for the cultural heritage, which is occurring in Alba Iulia, where under lies the largest urban concentration within the former Roman province, namely Dacia. We are referring to the urban centre Apulum where, each year, numerous vestiges come to light, because of archaeological exploitations. Unfortunately, in numerous courtyards of the inhabitants, there still are Roman monuments which should belong into a museum. It would not be unproductive for the competent institutions to identify, inventory and take the required steps to bring and enter them into the museum related circuit. The idea is to prevent the trend of owning Roman monuments from Alba Iulia, which was also observed amid highly e...

Archaeological research in Slobozia - Drumul lui Rainea led to the identification of two types of sites. The earliest belongs to the early Bronze Age, the Cernavoda culture. Several ceramic fragments were recovered from a large pit, as well as an impressive quantity of animal bones and shellfish shells. The second discovery is attributed to the second Iron Age, the La Tène period, and consists of 2 tombs, one for inhumation, superimposed by a second tomb for cremation. The discoveries can be seen in the main exhibition of the Giurgiu museum.

Az 1526-as mohácsi csata szempontjából marginális kérdésnek tűnhet a térség antik viszonyainak bemutatása, ugyanakkor a római határvédelmi rendszer és úthálózat feltérképezése támpontokat adhat a későbbi időszakokra, így a török korra gyakorolt hatásuk vizsgálatában is. A témát tekintve, a nagyjából Mohács-Eszék közti területen számos új kutatási eredmény született az elmúlt évtizedekben, amelyek ide vonatkozó ismertetésén túl olyan kérdésekre helyezem a hangsúlyt, amelyekben a római kori példák a Duna egykori vízrajzának és változásának, valamint a kapcsolódó úthálózat és közlekedési folyosók állandóságának megértését segíthetik.

Roman Napoca is a focal point of archaeological research in Cluj. Knowledge on it is, however, limited by the urban overlap of Medieval and Modern periods, but contemporary development sometimes offers us the opportunity to explore the Roman remains of the settlement. The matter of the Roman enclosure or Napoca's city walls was under debate in the second half of the 20 th century, when research began to reveal its position and, in some cases, its overlap by the Medieval one. Even though the Eastern side of the enclosure is practically unknown, this paper brings forward new knowledge on the Western side, resulting from a rescue excavation conducted on Fulicea street, in 2018. In the explored surface, adjacent to the city wall, the Roman foundation and elevation were revealed along with a couple of adjacent Roman features.

Dacian Coin of Rădulești‐Hunedoara Type Discovered at Ardeu. The restart of systematic research by the Museum of Dacian and Roman Civilization Deva, at the beginning of this century, allowed the outline of an overview of Dacian habitation in Ardeu. The archaeological contexts and numerous
objects discovered on various occasions were presented at conferences and especially in publications.
The research mainly focused on the upper plateau of the "Cetățuie" Hill, and other areas were more or less surveyed. For the campaign carried out in 2003, the research team proposed as its objective the survey of some
terraces, located at the base of the "Cetățuie" Hill, towards the south. The most important discoveries were identified in the place called "Gura Cheilor", on the property of Indrei Iosif. We placed two trenches with dimensions of 2x10 m (S1) and 2x6 m (S2), respectively. In both cases, complexes or parts of complexes
dated to several historical eras have been documented.
Through this work we propose to present a Rădulești-Hunedoara type coin discovered in 2003. The discovery of a Rădulești-Hunedoara type coin through archaeological research is not an ordinary fact. The vast majority of them were found more or less by chance. The context in which the piece was found is significant, namely, in the setting level of a hearth. Its position entitles us to assume that the arrangement in question was consecrated by depositing the coin.

The clarification of the question of the participation of the bishop of Scythia Minor in the works of the First Ecumenical Council continues to be a challenge for historians, Romanians or foreigners, theologians or lay people alike. Without claiming to issue absolute sentences, the present study proposes that, following the analysis of the main historical sources that provide data on the participants in this council, namely the lists of the signatories of the decisions of the Nicaean council and the information provided by the Byzantine chroniclers in their works of church history about this council, as well as the most important and pertinent studies on this subject so far, to highlight the necessary conclusions and to put forward certain hypotheses.

In the summer of 2020, a fragmentary lower part of a statue base with a Latin inscription carved on its underside was accidentally discovered in Vinča, in the area of the archaeological site of Ošljane. The remains of а Roman building (presumably a villa rustica) were located at the aforementioned site. After the discovery, the monument was stolen, then it was soon recovered and transferred to the National Museum of Serbia. The inscription records the career of a member of the equestrian order.

The lack of bronze coins of the senate issues in circulation in the Danubian and Balkan provinces at the start of the 3rd century was especially pronounced and was probably the main reason for opening the provincial mint in Viminacium in 239 and subsequently in Dacia in 246. Opening this two mints represented the official way for temporarily solving the problem in the functioning of the Empire's monetary system. However, it seems that the two newly founded mints had different roles. As shown by comparative analyses of monetary finds of these two mints, issues of Viminacium were intended for broader circulation, while issues of the province of Dacia seem to have been minted solely for the needs of the domicile province Relatively small presence of Provincia Dacia issues at territory of present-day Serbia, nevertheless shows that they had certain significance in monetary circulation in this part of Roman empire.

The archaeological site Rapoltu Mare-La Vie is located in the western part of Dacia Province, on a high terrace, situated on the right side of the Mureş River, the main road to the west of the Roman Empire. The systematic archaeological research undertaken here from the summer of 2013 revealed a series of traces of anthropogenic activities from prehistory to modern times. Of these, the Roman period was the most extensive, thanks to a villa which once stood on this terrace, built during the second and the third centuries AD, having passed through several phases of construction. The archaeological sections excavated so far have focused on a complex of buildings associatedwith the gate on the southern side of the villa, as well as one of the central buildings of this settlement. Among the artefacts discovered within the Roman levels are six fibulae, their typology and peculiarities being important elements for determining the chronological evolution of the settlement.

Réalisées dans le cadre des activités de l’Équipe d’Explorations Spéléologiques de Villefranche (EESV), les
recherches archéologiques sont soutenues depuis 2005 par la société Arkemine et par la DRAC Auvergne-Rhône-
Alpes. Y consacrant une grande partie de leur temps libre, des amateur(e)s et professionnel(le)s de l’archéologie,
des spéléologues et des naturalistes de l’EESV collaborent et interviennent sur le terrain. Passionnés, ces derniers
connaissent les cavités artificielles des monts du Lyonnais et du Beaujolais. Les recherches sur le terrain ont été
effectuées en collaboration avec d’autres associations et acteurs du patrimoine et de l’environnement (Patrimoine
en Haut Sornin, FRAPNA / FNE). Des laboratoires d’analyse sont aussi régulièrement sollicités pour des analyses
spécifiques (datations absolues, analyses de minerais...) en fonction des découvertes réalisées lors des fouilles
archéologiques. Les vestiges miniers se trouvent sur des terrains privés. Cet article est donc aussi l’occasion de
remercier les propriétaires qui ont autorisé la réalisation des fouilles archéologiques.
Au sein du Lyonnais et du Beaujolais, le patrimoine minier souterrain accessible concerne principalement les
gisements en contexte filonien. Toutefois, d’autres types de gisement ont été exploités, par exemple à Chessy et
Vaux-en-Beaujolais pour le cuivre et la pyrite où à Sainte- Paule pour la houille. La quasi-totalité des vestiges miniers
n’avait avant 2005 jamais fait l’objet d’une inspection à caractère archéologique. Beaucoup de vestiges sont liés à
des phases d’exploitation de la période contemporaine. C’est donc tout naturellement que les recherches se sont
aussi inscrites dans la diachronie en étudiant l’activité minière du Moyen-Âge à l’Ère industrielle. Toutefois, depuis
2020, nous développons nos recherches sur l’exploitation du cuivre associé à des amas stratiformes.
Les territoires des Monts du Lyonnais et du Beaujolais constituent un ensemble géologique dont le sous-sol est
principalement composé de roches métamorphiques et plutoniques. La mise en place des roches plutoniques, du
magma qui va cristalliser en granite après un refroidissement lent, favorise la circulation de fluides hydrothermaux
chargés en éléments chimiques, notamment en métaux. Ces fluides vont pénétrer dans les fracturations, créées par
l’orogénèse hercynienne et la mise en place des plutons, qui traversent les roches environnantes (www.geopark-
beaujolais.com/histoire-geologique.html). En remontant, ces fluides refroidissent et, la pression diminuant, les
éléments chimiques vont cristalliser sous la forme de composés minéraux en colmatant les fissures. Dans l’emprise du
Géoparc Beaujolais, les filons sont principalement constitués de quartz ainsi que de baryte et de fluorine (Mazenot,
1936, p.150). Ils intègrent des éléments plus rares, tels que des minerais métallifères sulfurés, en particulier de la galène,
un sulfure de plomb plus ou moins riche en argent, mais aussi plus rarement des minerais de cuivre et de l’antimoine.
Isolés ou formant des faisceaux, les filons subverticaux situés dans l’emprise du Géoparc Beaujolais ont été exploités
depuis la surface et en profondeur dès le Moyen-Âge. Ils ont ensuite été reconnus aux XVIIIe et début du XIXe siècles.
Après la période révolutionnaire, certains filons ont fait l’objet de permis de recherche et des concessions ont été
attribuées. De nombreuses sources historiques, archives et publications, permettent de documenter une activité
minière attestée dès la fin du Moyen Âge. Dans un premier temps, les filons ont été explorés pour trouver des métaux
non ferreux, en particulier de l’argent et du plomb. Durant l’ère industrielle, des minerais utilisés dans l’industrie
chimique ont principalement été exploités, tels que la baryte et la fluorine. Dans l’emprise du Géoparc Beaujolais
circonscrit au sein du département du Rhône, de nombreux vestiges témoignent donc des activités minières passées.

1 ULP. ad ed. II Municepsszé a születés, 68 a felszabadítás 69 vagy az örökbefogadás 70 tesz. 71 1 Tulajdonképpeni értelemben municepseknek nevezzük azokat, akik részt vállalnak a közfeladatokban (munerisparticeps), mivel azért fogadtuk őket a polgárok közé, hogy velünk együtt lássák el a közfeladatokat; 72 de manapság tágabb értelemben municepseknek nevezzük az egyes települések (civitas) polgárait is, 73 például campaniai, puteoli (municepsek). 2 Aki tehát két campaniai szülőtől származik, az campaniai. De ha campaniai apától és puteoli anyától származik, akkor szintén campaniai municeps lesz; kivéve akkor, ha történetesen (az adott város) valamilyen kiváltsága miatt az anya származási helyét kell figyelembe venni: 74 ez esetben ugyanis az anya származási helyének municepse lesz. Például az iliumiaknak megengedték, hogy ha valaki iliumi 67 Nehezen értelmezhető kifejezés, az eredetiben admunicipalem áll, a c. Tanta 8cben -amely összefoglalja a Digesta tematikus felépítését -a latin szöveg csak ad municipalest mond, míg a c. Dedóken 8c-ben szereplő hyper politón és a Basilica 54ben szereplő peri politón (a polgárokról) alapján inkább de municipibust (a municepsekről) várnánk. Vagy egy elliptikus kifejezéssel van dolgunk, és ekkor a municipalis mellé oda kell értenünk pl. a törvény szót. Vagy a municipalis főnévi értelemben többes szám helyett áll. 68 Paul. D/g. 50.16.228: "Municepseknek kell tekinteni azokat is, akik ugyanabban a municipiumban születtek." 69 Vö. 50.1.6.3; 50.1.22pr.\ 50.1.22.2 és 50.1.27pr. 70 Vö. 50.1.15.3 és 50.1.16. 71 Diocl. Cod. 10.40.7 alapján ezt a sort kiegészíthetjük még az adlectióval, ti. amikor az uralkodó vagy a városi tanács döntése alapján kívülállókat vesznek fel a polgárok közé. 72 Ugyanígy pl. Gell. 16.13.6. 73 Még akkor is, ha az adott település nem municipium, ezenfelül a coloniák törvényeit is lex municipalismk szokás nevezni. 74 Elsősorban az apa származási helyének megfelelő közfeladatokat és tisztségeket kellett ellátni (vö. Phil. Cod. 10.39.3), így az adott város számára jelentős előnyökkel járt, ha nem csak az apai, hanem az anyai ágon is oda kerültek a gyermekek, ti. így többen tudtak részt venni a közfeladatok ellátásában.

Sit tibi terra levis! Domnului profesor Florin Draşovean îi mulțumesc pentru creditul moral pe care mi l-a acordat la începutul carierei şi pentru decizia finanțării cercetărilor arheologice din castrul Berzobis, ca director al Muzeului Banatului Timişoara. Le mulțumesc, de asemenea, profesorilor mei de la Universitatea din Cluj-Napoca, care au contribuit decisiv la formarea mea ca arheolog. Destinul a făcut ca prof. dr. Alexandru Diaconescu, maestru în ale arheologiei şi şeful primului şantier arheologic pe care am activat ca student, să citească manuscrisul cărții şi să aducă unele observații critice, pe care le-am luat în considerare. Le sunt recunoscător şi altor colegi arheologi, în special din Cluj-Napoca şi Timişoara, care m-au ajutat şi m-au încurajat. Gândurile mele de recunoştință se îndreaptă şi către cetățenii din Berzovia, care au contribuit la înlesnirea şi realizarea cercetărilor arheologice din castru. Cel mai prețios ajutor l-am primit de la oamenii simpli: proprietarii suprafețelor cercetate, muncitori pe şantier, persoane pasionate de istorie şi arheologie. Numitorul comun al atitudinii lor este omenia. Le mai mulțumesc: doamnei Gabriela Balica, pentru realizarea traducerii în engleză; doamnei Adela Ban, pentru prelucrările grafice ale ilustrației şi copertă; domnilor Silviu Saftu (desenator la MNB) şi Milan Șepețan (fotograf, MNB), pentru contribuțiile privind ilustrația cărții. Îi adresez mulțumiri cordiale domnului Claudiu Ilaş, managerul Muzeului Național al Banatului din Timişoara, pentru sprijinul oferit, acest volum fiind inclus pe lista publicațiilor finanțate de către muzeul nostru. Trebuie să le aduc mulțumiri şi celor din familia mea (părinți, frați, soție, copii), pentru sprijinul sufletesc pe care mi l-au oferit de-a lungul traseului profesional. În general, merită mulțumiri toți prietenii, pentru generozitatea şi încrederea oferită de-a lungul anilor. Omnia vincit amor.

Teoria roesleriană are ca punct important faptul că în anul 271 e.n. imperatorul Aurelian a retras din Dacia traiană, în urma înfrângerii suferite în faţa goţilor armata, administraţia şi ÎNTREAGA POPULAŢIE. În general acestei teze i se aduc următoarele argumente: I. Informaţiile păstrate din antichitate (cea mai importantă aparţinând lui Flavius Vospicus); II. Existenţa provinciei Moesia în care imperatorul Aurelian a format o nouă provincie, denumită Dacia; III. Asemănările existente între limba română şi limba albaneză; IV. Existenţa enclavelor româneşti în sudul Dunării; V. Lipsa informaţiilor literare despre prezenţa daco-romanilor în nordul Dunării. Faţă de această teză istoricii români şi străini au contrapus teza continuităţii dacoromane după anul 275 e.n., aducându-se argumente care probează, în mod ştiinţific, prezenţa populaţiei daco-romane în nordul Dunării. În analiza noastră -succintă de altfel -vom avea drept repere argumentele teoretice roesleriene prezentate cu litere romane. I. Jordanes împreună cu alţi istorici antici au susţinut că imperatorul Aurelian ar fi retras din Dacia armata, administraţia şi o serie de cetăţeni care erau legaţi organic de administraţia romană. Trebuie să punem mai multă bază pe informaţiile istoricului Jordanes deoarece era originar din Moesia şi era un fin cunoscător al realităţilor de la Dunăre. II. O mişcare de asemenea factură cu o mutare a unei populaţii atât de numeroasă ar fi trebuit să lase urme adânci în conştiinţa contemporanilor, dar cu excepţia a două informaţii nu s-a păstrat nimic în legătură cu eventuala mutare în sudul Dunării. Nu apare nici o inscripţie şi nici un monument funerar care să dea indicii despre o mutare a populaţiei. Dacă am admite că, totuşi, imperatorul Aurelian ar fi mutat populaţia în sudul Dunării, în noua provincie Dacia Aureliană, dimensiunile acestei provincii erau mult reduse pentru a putea primi un număr atât de mare de locuitori. Săpăturile efectuate de istoricii şi arheologii sârbi nu demonstrează o prezenţă atât de numeroasă în sudul Dunării şi nu există vreo reformă agrară elaborată în acea perioadă care să fi dat de lucru unei populaţii numeroase de agricultori. Daco-romanii au fost căutaţi în oraşele sud-dunărene, dar în această perioadă istoricul Procopius din Cezareea, în lucrarea sa "De edificis" menţionează o decădere a oraşelor asociată cu o scădere masivă a populaţiei. În plus, se poate adăuga faptul consemnat şi de un istoric român: ce memorie ar fi avut strămoşii noştri ca după opt sau nouă secole să se reîntoarcă la vechile lor locuri de viaţă? III. Cele mai puternice argumente în momentul de faţă sunt argumentele arheologice. Pe teritoriul Dobrogei sau al Daciei traiane există, până acum, 1500 de

В статье анализируется деятельность Юлия Сабина (Iulius Sabinus) и Децима Теренция Скавриана (Decimus Terentius Scaurianus) в качестве первых наместников римской провинции Дакии. В историографии по данному вопросу существовала точка зрения, согласно которой именно Скавриан был первым legatus Augusti pro praetore provinciae Daciae, однако обнаруженный в Рановаце военный диплом (RMD. III. 148 = IDRE. II. 307 = ILD. 10) позволяет предположить, что его предшественником был Юлий Сабин. В связи с этим возникает необходимость пересмотреть дату образования колонии Ulpia Traiana Augusta Dacica, строительство которой было начато при Теренции Скавриане. Учитывая тот факт, что для указанных римских деятелей пост наместника в Дакии считается единственной засвидетельствованной должностью в их cursus honorum, в статье рассматриваются в т.ч. возможные варианты развития карьеры военачальников.

В статье рассматриваются условия назначения наместников в римскую провинцию Дакия при династии Антонинов, а именно требования, которым должен был удовлетворять кандидат на данную должность. Проведенный анализ нарративных источников и эпиграфических материалов позволяет сделать выводы о высокой степени лояльности дакийских наместников по отношению к правителям Римской империи II в. н. э. и их немалых полководческих и управленческих заслугах до назначения в эту провинцию. По причине военно-стратегического значения Дакии и ее территориальной отдаленности от Рима туда посылались верные императору государственные деятели, которые ранее приобрели военный и административный опыт в других «незамиренных» провинциях. Кроме того, зачастую наместники были связаны с принцепсом родственными или дружескими отношениями.

В статье анализируется стратификация общества римской Дакии на основе данных эпиграфики. Рассматриваются такие социальные группы, как провинциальная элита, городские ремесленники и торговцы, вольноотпущенники, рабы. В результате исследования сделан вывод об особом значении провинциальной элиты в жизни общества римской Дакии, отмечена корпоративная организация ремесленников и торговцев, объединявшихся в коллегии как по сугубо профессиональным, так и по этническим причинам. Государственные вольноотпущенники и рабы включались в административный штат провинции, а также принимали участие в деятельности фискальных органов.

В статье рассматривается специфика вспомогательного персонала административного аппарата римской Дакии. Анализ эпиграфических памятников, содержащих сведения об аппариторах различных уровней (от обслуживающего персонала управленцев низшего ранга до помощников и секретарей носителей высшей власти на данной территории), позволяет сделать вывод о том, что состав apparitores этой провинции был весьма разнороден как в социальном, так и в этническом отношении. Значимую роль играл вспомогательный персонал высшей военной администрации римской Дакии, что обусловливалось географическим положением провинции и постоянными вооруженными конфликтами.

This report presents the results of the preventive archaeological investigations carried out on the route of the road that crosses the Băile Figa site from east to west and is to be paved. The rescue excavations were carried out in 2020. As a result of the research, two sections were opened/extended: section XXII surveyed in 2009 was extended to the north and south, and a new section was opened on the road route, named
S.XXIV. The research has brought to light the traces of disturbed wooden structures, also observed throughout the site area, which may be related to the exploitation of salt in the Late Bronze Age.
A specific find is a probably circular-oval ditch, with a mixed fill with a lot of burning and several fragments of pottery, mostly atypical, have come to the surface. The most interesting object is a bowl fragment having a slip with much graphite.

In 2024 rescue excavations were continued at the Sfântu Gheorghe–Hosszú site, in the northern part of the city. The field works were carried out in two locations, on two inlots situated on the Gaál Sándor street, respectively on the Izvorului street. The research made on the Gaál Sándor street was carried out in five trenches, revealing a total of 18 features. From these, 12 belongs to the Neolithic and six to the Late Bronze Age. Remains of a Neolithic dwelling were identified, built on the surface. The LBA material is mostly composed by pottery, while in Cx 02 a dog or wolf skull was discovered. The Neolithic material belongs to the later phase of the Starčevo-Criș culture, being dated between 5800-5500 cal BC. During the excavations on the Izvorului street, six pits were uncovered. Two of them are the remains of one or two surface dwelling(s), another is a large pit-house, which contained several pottery fragments and a whole dog or wolf skeleton. Outside the dwellings a circular hearth was identified, built on a river-stone base. According to the inventory of the discovered artefacts, consisting mostly pottery, but animal bones and grinding stones as well, all the pits can be attributed to the Late Bronze Age Gáva culture, dated approximately between 1200 and 850 cal BC.

Opposite Aquincum (Óbuda/Budapest, Hungary), on the Barbaricum side of the Danube, near the mouth of the Rákos Stream, stands a Roman
fort that has been known since the early 19th century. In archaeological literature, it is referred to as Transaquincum,
though more recently, the name Contra Aquincum has become increasingly accepted.
Between 2018 and 2023, the Budapest History Museum conducted extensive excavations within and around
the fortress. Based on the findings unearthed during these investigations, it became clear that this was a Late Roman
fortress with no earlier phases of occupation. Its construction can be linked to a well-known entry in the
Consularia Constantinopolitana, which records the establishment of fortresses in Sarmatian territory opposite
Aquincum and Bononia in 293/294 AD.
The fortress was therefore built in the last years of Diocletian’s war against the Sarmatians, its function being
to protect the Barbaricum side of the Danube bridge, which was constructed at the same time.
