  • Comments on the Morphology of the Hillfort from Muncel
    COMMENTS ON THE MORPHOLOGY OF THE HILLFORT FROM MUNCEL Eugen S. Teodor*, Aurora Peţan**, Alexandru Hegyi*** * Romanian National History Museum, Bucharest; [email protected] ** Research Center of Dacica Fundation, Alun; [email protected] *** West University of Timișoara, Timișoara; [email protected] Rezumat. Ne referim la fortificaţia cunoscută în literatură sub numele Muncel, aflată pe mun- tele de la nord de capitala regatului dacic, la o mică distanţă dar 500 de m mai sus, reprezentând cheia defensivei (sau ofensivei) din războaiele daco-romane de la începutul sec. II dHr. Există practic un consens în a atribui lucrările de acolo romanilor, deşi sondajele arheologice minus- cule, de până acum, indică inventar de tip dacic. Ultima luare de poziţie în materie1 reprezintă un moment important, câtă vreme este semnată de autori cu un renume solid în cercetarea aeriană şi arheologia militară romană; mai mult, studiul respectiv beneficiază de modelul teren de tip LiDAR, care reprezintă premiza unei expertize topografice de fineţe. Din nefericire, nu a fost cazul. Am profitat de pre-existenţa unui model-teren realizat în 2016 (din dronă) pentru a verifica analiza cercetătorilor britanici şi am ajuns la concluzii diametral opuse. Între motivele unei asemenea încheieri enumerăm aici absenţa unui şanţ exterior (susţinută de autorii menţi- onaţi, dar şi de Al. Stefan, cu peste un deceniu în urmă), existenţa unui larg şanţ interior (carac- teristică tipic dacică), grosimea neobişnuită a valului (pentru castrele de marş), existenţa unor “anexe” fără analogie funcţională în lumea romană (în special dubla palisadă de la vest), absen- ţa porţilor (care ar trebui să fie vizibile în plan, în ipoteza menţionată), prezenţa gropilor mari de pe conturul interior (care nu sunt moderne), dar şi recentele descoperirile “întâmplătoare” (cu detectorul de metale) din urmă cu un deceniu.

  • The Romance Population in the Medieval Kingdom of Hungary
    ANALELE BANATULUI, S.N., ARHEOLOGIE ISTORIE, XXII, 2014 http://muzeulbanatului.ro/mbt/istorie/publicatii/ab.htm THE ROMANCE POPULATION IN THE MEDIEVAL KINGDOM OF HUNGARY Peter Bučko* Keywords: Romance population; medieval Hungary; Srem; Spiš; Transylvania, Tokaj; pilgrims; Hospitallers; Templars Cuvinte cheie: populaţie romanică; Ungaria medievală; Srem; Spiš; Transilvania; Tokaj; pelerini; Ospitalieri; Templieri (Abstract) Medieval kingdom of Hungary was since its very begining founded on the basis of multiethnicity and openness to foreigners. Foreigners in Hungary, especially in the 11th and 12th century came from Western Europe. Great immigration waves of the romance population are documented mostly during the reign of king Géza II (1141 – 1162), when they managed to settle in peripheral regions of the country and increase the population and signicance of weakly populated regions. Foreigners in the 12th recieved privileged status as the „guests“. In the 11th and 12th century these guests have settled in Srem, Spiš, Transylvania and Tokaj. Some information about Srem region are provided by crusades chronicles. In Srem there was a village called Francavilla, which belonged to the oldest and most important romanesque settlement in Hungary. e Guests in Transylvania had their own church organization and there were several bishops of Transylvania and Bihar/Oradea of western european origin. Other regions with Romanesque population – Spiš and Tokaj laid on international routes. e collegiate chapter of Spiš even owned vineyards in Tokaj – in Sárospátak, one of the oldest Hungarian cities with privileges. A large number of documented pilgrimage passing through Hungary could also stand behind the increase of new romance population in the country. Additional aspect of the Crusades was the creation of religious orders, the Knights Templar and the Hospitallers, who just few decades after their formation appeared in Hungary and were engaged in the life of Hungarian kingdom.

  • The Catalogue of the Freshwater Crayfish (Crustacea: Decapoda: Astacidae) from Romania Preserved in “Grigore Antipa” National Museum of Natural History of Bucharest
    Travaux du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle © Décembre Vol. LIII pp. 115–123 «Grigore Antipa» 2010 DOI: 10.2478/v10191-010-0008-5 THE CATALOGUE OF THE FRESHWATER CRAYFISH (CRUSTACEA: DECAPODA: ASTACIDAE) FROM ROMANIA PRESERVED IN “GRIGORE ANTIPA” NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY OF BUCHAREST IORGU PETRESCU, ANA-MARIA PETRESCU Abstract. The largest collection of freshwater crayfish of Romania is preserved in “Grigore Antipa” National Museum of Natural History of Bucharest. The collection consists of 426 specimens of Astacus astacus, A. leptodactylus and Austropotamobius torrentium. Résumé. La plus grande collection d’écrevisses de Roumanie se trouve au Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle «Grigore Antipa» de Bucarest. Elle comprend 426 exemplaires appartenant à deux genres et trois espèces, Astacus astacus, A. leptodactylus et Austropotamobius torrentium. Key words: Astacidae, Romania, museum collection, catalogue. INTRODUCTION The first paper dealing with the freshwater crayfish of Romania is that of Cosmovici, published in 1901 (Bãcescu, 1967) in which it is about the freshwater crayfish from the surroundings of Iaºi. The second one, much complex, is that of Scriban (1908), who reports Austropotamobius torrentium for the first time, from Racovãþ, Bahna basin (Mehedinþi county). Also Scriban made the first comment on the morphology and distribution of the species Astacus astacus, A. leptodactylus and Austropotamobius torrentium, mentioning their distinctive features. Also, he published the first drawings of these species (cephalothorax). Entz (1912) dedicated a large study to the crayfish of Hungary, where data on the crayfish of Transylvania are included. Probably it is the amplest paper dedicated to the crayfish of the Romanian fauna from the beginning of the last century, with numerous data on the outer morphology, distinctive features between species, with more detailed figures and with the very first morphometric measures, and also with much detailed data on the distribution in Transylvania.

  • Turda on Hitchins, 'A Concise History of Romania'
    H-Romania Turda on Hitchins, 'A Concise History of Romania' Review published on Saturday, August 9, 2014 Keith Hitchins. A Concise History of Romania. Cambridge Concise Histories Series. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2014. Illustrations. xvi + 327 pp. $76.50 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-521-87238-6; $25.19 (paper), ISBN 978-0-521-69413-1. Reviewed by Marius Turda (Oxford Brookes)Published on H-Romania (August, 2014) Commissioned by R. Chris Davis Do We Still Care about National History? This is a book that every historian in Romania dreams of writing: absorbing in its narrative and wide ranging in terms of its sources, yet perfectly integrated within Romanian national historiography. That it was Keith Hitchins who wrote the book is no surprise. No one, in Romania or abroad, is as respected an authority on Romanian topics as the professor of history at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Hitchins is possibly Romania’s greatest living historian. As for the book’s substance, Hitchins’s strategy is to expand Romania’s brief history as a modern state (established in 1859; it gained independence in 1878) into two millennia of history, and to project as widely geographically and diachronically as possible the generic term “Romanians.” The result is a book that satisfies both Western curiosity about Romania’s largely unknown history and the Romanian historiography’s own predilection for master narratives, such as the country’s uninterrupted historical continuity and political unity. The fact that Greater Romania was created in 1918 (and included Transylvania, Bukovina, and Bessarabia) following the First World War and the dissolution of the Russian and Austro-Hungarian Empires only accentuates these themes within the book’s teleological interpretation of Romania’s history positioned between West and East.

  • Result of the Historic Evolution and Contemporary Urban Planning Tool
    ROMANIAN REVIEW OF REGIONAL STUDIES, Volume XII, Number 1, 2016 BUILT HERITAGE IN THE LAND OF HAȚEG – RESULT OF THE HISTORIC EVOLUTION AND CONTEMPORARY URBAN PLANNING TOOL GHEORGHE-GAVRILĂ HOGNOGI1, ANA-MARIA POP2 ABSTRACT – The Regional Geography papers, especially those dedicated to the “land”-type studies sequentially mention certain historical aspects, because historical evolution is treated largely as having a supportive role, far from becoming a component of interaction. This research aims to address the historical evolution of the Land of Hațeg in the light of the specific territorial elements and to provide evidence for using the built heritage as a tool for decision-makers. Methodologically, the research has implied the completion of three stages, each with its specific work methods (direct observation, mapping, chorematic analysis). The findings highlight the applicative and utilitarian character of historical studies in the land use planning documents. Keywords: Land of Hațeg, historical monument, land use planning, chorem INTRODUCTION Over the last decades, the emphasis is increasingly being placed on interdisciplinarity, regardless of the type of study addressed. This is also the case of the Regional Geography papers, where the interrelations between various territorial components argue its functionality (Cocean, 2011). In addition, although historical studies have been regulated since the 1990’s as components of the urban planning documents, they are currently not mandatory. For this reason, they are often not included. They were left at the discretion of beneficiaries who considered they did not have much impact due to the fact that many of them contained only a brief history not related to other elements of a planning document.

  • 165 Years of Roman Rule on the Left Bank of the Danube. at The
    92 Chapter III PROVINCIA DACIA AUGUSTI: 165 years of Roman rule on the left bank of the Danube. At the beginning of the 2nd century, in the Spring of 101AD, Roman Forces marched against the Kingdom of Decebal. We already know what the Roman's rationale was for starting this war and we also know that the real reason was likely to have been the personal ambition of the first Provincial Emperor, Trajan (he was born in Hispania a man of Macedonian background among Greeks). The Roman armies marched against a client-state of Rome, which was a subordinate ally of Rome. Decebal did not want to wage war against Rome and his recurring peace offers confirm this. It is unlikely that Trajan would only have decided on the total conquest of the Dacian Kingdom after he waged his first campaign in 101-102. After this, Roman garrisons were established in the Province - their ongoing presence is reflected by the Latin names of towns (as recorded by Ptolemy). At Dobreta they begin to build the stone bridge which will span the Danube. It was built in accordance with plans made by Apollodorus of Damascus to promote continuous traffic - it was an accomplishment unmatched - even by Rome. This vast project portends that Trajan began the expedition against Dacia in 101 with the intention of incorporating the Kingdom into the Roman Empire. The Emperor, who founded a city (Nicopolis) to commemorate his victory over Dacia, has embarked on this campaign not only for reasons of personal ambition. The 93 economic situation of the Empire was dismal at the beginning of Trajan's reign; by the end of the second Dacian War it has vastly improved.
