Commagenorum
CASTELUL DE LA CAPUT STENARUM ŞI COHORS I FLAVIA COMMAGENORUM Cristian SCHUSTER* Fortificaţia de la Boiţa/Caput Stenarum Înainte de a părăsi Transilvania, Oltul face un unghi de aproape 90 de grade, pornind apoi spre sud, prin Carpaţii Meridionali, devenind ulterior „graniţa” dintre Oltenia şi Muntenia. Chiar în dreptul respectivului cot, pe malul drept al râului, investigaţiile arheologice au permis descoperirea resturilor unei fortificaţii romane. Acestea, aflate în punctul cunoscut sub denumirea În Rude (fig. 1), se găsesc astăzi pe teritoriul satului Boiţa (oraşul Tălmaciu, judeţul Sibiu)1. Aşa cum se ştie, cei mai mulţi dintre specialişti consideră că în acest sat trebuie localizat ceea ce Tabula Peutingeriana indică a fi Caput Stenarum2. Prezenţa urmelor romane a fost semnalată încă de la sfârşitul veacului al XIX-lea - începutul celui următor3. Primele cercetări arheologice s-au derulat în 19574, fiind continuate în 19585, 19736, 19797 şi, în cadrul practicii arheologice a studenţilor de la Facultatea de Filologie-Istorie din Sibiu, în vara anului 19818. Fortificaţiei, prin dimensiunile sale reduse – „de 46 x 47 m, fiind, deci, aproape pătrată”9, i se potriveşte mai degrabă termenul de castellum decât cel de castrum. Cu privire la momentul ridicării fortificaţiei din piatră, dar şi a „termelor cu palestrele, tabulariului vămii şi construcţiile cu caracter gospodăresc” s-a emis ipoteza că ele au fost realizate „după anii 167-169 e.n., când s-a operat reorganizarea administrativă şi militară de către Marcus Aurelius”10.

P. Serafimov ETYMOLOGICAL ANALYSIS of THRACIAN TOPONYMS and HYDRONYMS
134 P. Serafimov ETYMOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THRACIAN TOPONYMS AND HYDRONYMS Abstract This paper offers an etymological analysis of more than 60 Thracian toponyms, hydronyms and oronyms. It presents the evidence that the Slavs were the indigenous population in the region, in agreement to the testimony of Simokatta, who equated Thracians (called Getae) with the Old Slavs: «Sclavos sive Getas hoc enim nomine antiquitus appellati sunt” – “Slavs or Getae, because this is the way they were called in the antiquity”. Introduction The toponyms, hydronyms and oronyms can provide very valuable information about the inhabitants of certain lands, because every ethnic group has their own names for moun- tain, valley, lake, and village more or less different from these of the other people. Slavic Bela Gora (White mountain) corresponds to German Weiss Berg, the Greek Λέύκος Oρος and Latin Albus Mons. Judging by these differences and peculiarities we can determine the ethnic affiliation of people who lived a long time ago in a certain geographical area. In this paper the attention is given to the Old Thracian lands: from the Carpathian Mountains to Asia Minor and from Black Sea till Dardania (Serbia). But I have to clarify that these regions do not represent the totality of the Thracian domain, in reality it continued to the Hercynian forest (Schwarzwald in Germany), Map 1, where according to Strabo the country of the Getae began [1], VII-2-III-1. Facts and discussion The terms for different types of settlements in the Thracian lands were: DABA (DAVA), PARA (PHARA), BRIA, DIZA, MIDNE, OSS (VIS), and DAMA. -
Elements of Specificity Regarding the Technical State of Historical Constructions with Defense Role
BULETINUL INSTITUTULUI POLITEHNIC DIN IAŞI Publicat de Universitatea Tehnică „Gheorghe Asachi” din Iaşi Volumul 65 (69), Numărul 2, 2019 Secţia CONSTRUCŢII. ARHITECTURĂ ELEMENTS OF SPECIFICITY REGARDING THE TECHNICAL STATE OF HISTORICAL CONSTRUCTIONS WITH DEFENSE ROLE BY ANDREI-VICTOR ANDREI* and LIVIA INGRID DIACONU Technical University “Gh. Asachi” of Iasi, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Building Services, Received: May 17, 2019 Accepted for publication: June 27, 2019 Abstract. Historical defensive construction is a term that defines a construction designed to provide protection, capable of serving military action and having implications for local, national and universal history, culture and civilization. The construction of the fortifications, their type and strategic positioning required a special architecture, special siege weapons, the choice and adoption of a strategy and tactics appropriate for conquest or defense. For a proper assessment of the technical state of a historic building with a defense role, particular attention should be paid to specific architectural elements such as: defense walls built of earth or stone, defense towers that can have shapes, ramparts, firing holes, guard roads, water supply, cellars, the reserve of building materials, made up for the reconstruction of the enemy's destruction, not least, these elements with a strategic, technical and tactical role are added to the living quarters, the care of the wounded, the preparation of the food and the rest. Keywords: historical defensive construction; fortifications; technical state; degradation, stone. *Corresponding author: e-mail: [email protected] 102 Andrei-Victor Andrei and Livia Ingrid Diaconu 1. Introduction In particular, in the case of historical constructions, knowledge and assessment of constructive features is an important source of information for establishing the course of the rehabilitation. -

La Macédoine n'eftait pas tombée, mais Rome était entrée dans le rae de celle-ci, qui n'était que celui d' Alexandre-le-Grand.

Chr.), dont nous avons parléplushaut, en rapport avec les races aborigènes dans la Péninsule du Sud-Est Européen. Jusqu'au II-e siècle, Narona, Lissus, Salona, certaines iles avaient, sous le rapport romain, le méme caractère que, plus tard, h l'époque de la domination véni- tienne, ces localités eurent sous le rapport italien 1 Les guerres de Macédoine ont fait connaitre ensuite aux Romains tous les coins des vallées de l'Ouest de la Péninsule Balcanique, pendant la première moitié du II-e siècle.

17 Paradoxul Dacic
17 PARADOXUL DACIC Andrei VARTIC scriitor, editor al revistei de studii carpato-dunărene „Dava International”. 1. Cei peste 1900 de ani care au trecut de la războiul daco- roman din vara anului 106 ar trebui să pună pe gânduri măcar lumea academică din spaţiul cultural românesc. Mai întâi fiindcă strategiile şi tacticele acelui adevărat război mondial sunt, cum arată evenimentele, de mare învăţătură. Apoi, fiindcă unele din tehnologiile dacice rămân neîntrecute până la ora actuală, cum ar fi fierul pur dacic, protejat uluitor contra ruginii, sau mortarele inteligente, fără calciu şi cu proprietăţi chimice active peste două mii ani de la producerea lor. Iar giganticele terase ale Sarmisegetuzei Regia (efortul construirii lor întrece pe cel al Marii Piramide de la Giza), sau troianul de la Cioclovina (lung de peste 2 km, înalt şi acum de peste 3 m şi lat de peste 8 m) lasă neputincioase în jos mâinile celor mai ingenioşi ingineri (troianul este construit într-o zonă de munte greu accesibilă) şi nu-şi găsesc încă alte motivări decât cele ale paradoxului. Aşa şi cetăţile dacilor, cu toate că au fost zidite pe vârfuri greu accesibile de munţi, nu căutau marginea prăpăstiei, ci o îndepărtau cu terase care le fac vulnerabile din punctul de vedere al artei militare [1]. Să amintim că şi piatra din care au fost construite zidurile cetăţilor dacice a fost prelucrată atât de frumos chiar în carieră încât volens-nonlens se pune întrebarea dacă rostul ei a fost anume acela de a fi pusă într-un zid de apărare. Şi prelucrarea rocilor vulcanice numite andezite este misterioasă, fiindcă în zona cetăţilor dacice ele au fost utilizate la construirea unor uriaşe sanctuare, de facto modele matematice perfect armonizate cu diverse ţinte cosmice (cum este Săgeata Soarelui de Andezit de la Sarmisegetusa Regia, orientată spre Polul Nord Ceresc) [2]. -
CONSTANTIN PREDA (1 Noiembrie 1925 – 28 Martie 2008)
CONSTANTIN PREDA (1 noiembrie 1925 – 28 martie 2008) La prea puţină vreme după ce colegii îl omagiau pentru împlinirea a 80 de ani de viaţă, Domnul Constantin Preda s-a petrecut, la 28 martie 2008, în lumea celor drepţi. Îl revăzusem, cu puţină vreme înaintea acestei date, la Cabinetul Numismatic al Institutului de Arheologie de care îl lega o viaţă, preocupat de unele chestiuni tehnice ale PC-ului care îi blocaseră continuarea redactării unui studiu de specialitate. Ne-am bucurat amândoi sincer de revedere, fără să ştim că era ultima. Ne legau mai multe apropieri şi bune înţelegeri. Prima, în urma căreia s-au adăugat celelalte, a fost experienţa de început a subsemnatului la cercetarea arheologică a necropolei romane târzii de la Callatis, coordonată de Constantin Preda. Cu acel prilej, dincolo de primul exerciţiu în domeniu dobândit de autorul acestor rânduri graţie responsabilului sus-numit al cercetărilor, am avut bucuria unei apropieri de la profesor la student, chiar dacă dânsul nu era acreditat atunci cu o asemenea poziţie didactică. Ar fi meritat-o, desigur, dar condiţiile administrative şi politice din acei ani nu favorizau o atare recunoaştere. Nu a uitat să menţioneze, la începutul volumului apărut în 1980, participarea subsemnatului la cercetare, în rând cu ceilalţi colaboratori. Cea de-a doua, mai importantă, a fost legată de numirea mea ca secretar ştiinţific al Institutului de Arheologie din 1982, sub directoratul lui Constantin Preda (1981-1989). Perioadă extrem de dificilă, marcată de arbitrariul dictaturii pe de o parte şi, pe de alta, de eforturile noastre solidare de a menţine cercetarea la un SCIVA, tomul 59-60, Bucureşti, 2008-2009, p. -
Economic Role of the Roman Army in the Province of Lower Moesia (Moesia Inferior) INSTITUTE of EUROPEAN CULTURE ADAM MICKIEWICZ UNIVERSITY in POZNAŃ
Economic role of the Roman army in the province of Lower Moesia (Moesia Inferior) INSTITUTE OF EUROPEAN CULTURE ADAM MICKIEWICZ UNIVERSITY IN POZNAŃ ACTA HUMANISTICA GNESNENSIA VOL. XVI ECONOMIC ROLE OF THE ROMAN ARMY IN THE PROVINCE OF LOWER MOESIA (MOESIA INFERIOR) Michał Duch This books takes a comprehensive look at the Roman army as a factor which prompted substantial changes and economic transformations in the province of Lower Moesia, discussing its impact on the development of particular branches of the economy. The volume comprises five chapters. Chapter One, entitled “Before Lower Moesia: A Political and Economic Outline” consti- tutes an introduction which presents the economic circumstances in the region prior to Roman conquest. In Chapter Two, entitled “Garrison of the Lower Moesia and the Scale of Militarization”, the author estimates the size of the garrison in the province and analyzes the influence that the military presence had on the demography of Lower Moesia. The following chapter – “Monetization” – is concerned with the financial standing of the Roman soldiery and their contri- bution to the monetization of the province. Chapter Four, “Construction”, addresses construction undertakings on which the army embarked and the outcomes it produced, such as urbanization of the province, sustained security and order (as envisaged by the Romans), expansion of the economic market and exploitation of the province’s natural resources. In the final chapter, entitled “Military Logistics and the Local Market”, the narrative focuses on selected aspects of agriculture, crafts and, to a slightly lesser extent, on trade and services. The book demonstrates how the Roman army, seeking to meet its provisioning needs, participated in and contributed to the functioning of these industries.
