Budapest is the capital and the largest city of Hungary and one of the largest cities in the European Union.

Frontiers have become increasingly significant in the study of Late Antiquity, the fastest growing historical discipline, as scholars recognized the fundamental importance of shifting barriers in the process of transformation that led from the classical to the post-classical world. Frontiers once firmly separating empires, ethnic groups, religions, friends and even the sexes have been intensely crossed in late antiquity – a phenomenon comparable only to the recent transition from modernity to post-modernity (a comparison that we intend to exploit in our methodology). People living in the Roman world between the second and the sixth century tore down many walls demarcating cultures, religions, ethnicities. Offering a groundbreaking approach to the field of border studies including social, gender, ethnic and religious categories with the participation of outstanding scholars in the field, this course will provide students with a solid knowledge of up-to-date international scholarship on frontiers: a strong theoretical background as well as hands-on acquaintance with physical borders and material artifacts excavated along the limes.

  • ABOUT AQUINCUM North of Rome, Budapest Is the Only European
    ABOUT AQUINCUM North of Rome, Budapest is the only European capital, which presents its Roman heritage to visitors in a large, contiguous area. The Romans reached the Danube around the birth of Christ. Their settlement, Aquincum, covers roughly the area of modern-day Óbuda. The Military Town was located around modern-day Flórián Square, while the Civil Town lay some 2 km away. The remains of the Civil Town can be seen in the Aquincum Museum’s Archaeological Park. The stone collection of the museum is one of the richest in Hungary; the artefacts cover the entire course of Roman occupation. The material remains that tell us about how the Romans lived can be seen at the exhibitions. The artefacts include a unique find of music history: the 3rd-century organ. Its metal parts are the only ones in the world to have survived in entirety and fit for reconstruction. THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL PARK OF THE MUSEUM The Archaeological Park of the museum covers almost a third of the former Civil Town and presents the ancient town’s forum and its environs: the law court, the large temple, the large public baths and the market hall. Even in their ruins, the signs of the high level of urban culture can be clearly observed: the aqueduct, sewage system, flush toilets and public buildings with running water. The Chronoscope (“past viewing device”) is there to help visitors imagine how the former structures would have looked like. The buildings of the originally village-like settlement were made of timber and clay. These were replaced in the 2nd century by stone buildings.
