  • Terra Sigillata-Ellátás És
    ÓKOR – KÖZÉPKOR – KORA ÚJKOR Terra sigillata ellátás és fogyasztás a Severus dinasztia alatti Daciában A Dacia-kutatás eddig kevéssé művelt ága, a terra sigillata-import vizsgá- lata, melynek segítségével bemutathatóak a provinciák közötti kereskedel- mi kapcsolatok, és a provincián belüli gazdasági konjunktúrák, valamint a romanizáció előrehaladása. A szerző, Viorica Rusu-Bolindet, tanulmányában bemutatja az antoninusi és a severusi időszak alatti kerámia-importot, vala- mint a helyi sigillata manufaktúrák termelését és azok áruinak elterjedését is. Az Antoninus-dinasztia idején az import sigillaták jelentős része Közép- Galliából érkezett (66%) Daciába. Ezen belül pedig elsősorban Lezoux-ból. A kelet-galliai és germániai manufaktúrák (La Madeleine, Lavoye, Blick- weiler, Heiligenberg, Trier, Chémery, Ittenweiler) termékei az importnak csak a 17 százalékát teszik ki. Ezen belül Rheinzabern 7 százalékkal kép- viselteti magát. Az utolsó helyen a késő itáliai fazekasok termékei (3%) találhatóak. Jelentős az importból származó, de egy manufaktúrához sem köthető leletek aránya. Ezen százalékos megoszlás magyarázata, hogy az itáliai és a dél-galliai manufaktúrák termelésüknek az utolsó szakaszában, Lezoux annak csúcsán, míg mások, elsősorban Rheinzabern pedig gyártásuk felfutási szakaszában voltak ebben az időszakban. Pannoniához hasonlóan, itt is éles korszakhatárt jelez Septimus Severus trónra lépése. A Severus-korban az import megoszlása teljesen megválto- zik. A piacvezető közép-galliai kerámiákat Rheinzabern lassan kiszorítja a daciai piacokról. Lezoux részesedése már csak 9%, míg Rheinzaberné eléri a 42 százalékot. Megjelennek a daciai piacon, a markomann háborúkat kö- vetően, Westerndorf (20%) és Pfaffenhofen (5%), valamint a Felső-Moesiai Viminacium-Margum kerámiái. Rheinzabern termékeitől eltérően a wester- dorfi és a pfaffenhofeni áruk csak a provincia középső és déli részein fellel- hetőek.

Recent studies on Roman topogra- phy2, centuriation (centuriatio)3 and modern cartography4 changed radically our knowledge and especially the visual perception of the Roman Empire, creating new, more detailed and accurate maps of every province. !e new international and regional projects on the studies of the Roman Limes5 urged also the creation of new and much more adequate maps of the Roman Empire and it’s provinces. Nevertheless, the cartographic representation of Roman Dacia in the foreign and Romanian literature is still very rhapsodic and full with major mistakes. By presenting the latest results of the research, this paper will try to answer on a very simple, but uncomfortable question: why we don’t have a standard map of Roman Dacia?

Keywords: waterway, boating 1. INTRODUCTION The Mures River (Fig. 1) is 803 km long, of which 761 km are on the Romanian territory. It originates from Hasmas Mountains (Eastern Carpathians), crosses Giurgeu depression, Căliman and Gurghiu Mountains (through the 50 km long Toplita Deda gorge); from there on, it crosses the central part of the Transylvanian Plateau (passing through several cities: Reghin Targu Mures Iernut, Aiud, Alba Iulia, Deva). It reaches Arad Plain, passes through the city of Arad and, west of Nadlac town, it makes the border line between Romania and Hungary along 31 km; after that, it enters Hungary and flows into the Tisza. Annual average flow rate of the Mures river is 184 m3/s at the outfall part.

    Near and Beyond the Roman Frontier. Proceedings of a colloquim held in Târgovişte, 16–17 october 2008, Bucureşti, 2009, p. 329–338 TACTICS, STRATEGIES AND FIGHTING SPECIFIC OF THE COHORTES EQUITATAE IN ROMAN DACIA Petru Ureche Tactici, strategii şi specific de luptă al cohortelor equitate în Dacia Romană Armata romană este renumită pentru abilitatea de a evolua în funcţie de schimbările cerinţelor politice şi militare ale perioadei imperiale şi a se adapta condiţiilor locale în scopul de a înfrânge aproape orice oponent. Romanii au înţeles că legiunile nu erau cele mai utile trupe în operaţiuni care necesitau forţe care se deplasează rapid sau în lupte pe teren dificil sau muntos, acestea fiind mult mai potrivite pentru asedii şi lupte plănuite. Astfel, în conflictele la scară mică şi pentru menţinerea securităţii interne şi de frontieră, flexibilitatea tactică oferită de trupele auxiliare s–a dovedit extrem de utilă. Acest studiu prezintă şi analizează organizarea şi tacticile utilizate de cohortele equitate – trupe mixte de infanterie şi cavalerie, cu o privire specială asupra celor care au fost prezente şi în Dacia. Analiza s–a făcut atât din punctul de vedere al specificului de luptă al populaţiilor care alcătuiau cohortele equitate, cât şi din cel al locului în care aceste trupe au fost cantonate. Key words: mounted cohorts, tactics, fighting particularities. This study presents and analyses the style and fighting tactics tackled by the cohortes equitatae1 of the Roman army, with special attention to those that were garrisoned in Dacia, as well.

    ADRIAN BEJAN DDDAAACCCIIIAAA FFFEEELLLIIIXXX Istoria Daciei romane Timişoara 1998 Istoria Daciei romane Stăpânirea romană în Dacia prezintă un dublu aspect. Ea s-a instaurat pe pământul Daciei prin violenţă, pe calea armelor şi s-a menţinut tot timpul sprijinindu-se pe o armată numeroasă şi pe un puternic sistem de apărare. Cu toate acestea, ea nu a avut un caracter distructiv. Dimpotrivă, epoca stăpânirii romane în Dacia a însemnat un progres din punct de vedere al evoluţiei generale a societăţii faţă de epoca precedentă, schimbând întreaga înfăţişare a Daciei şi ridicând-o la o treaptă superioară. ~4~ Istoria Daciei romane CUCERIREA DACIEI DE CĂTRE ROMANI Civilizaţia dacică Perioada sec. I î.Hr. – 106 d.Hr., finalizată cu cucerirea Daciei de către romani este perioada celei mai înalte manifestări, pe un întreit tărâm, a capacităţii creatoare a poporului geto-dac. Pe plan economico-material este perioada formării unei civilizaţii de tip oppidan; pe plan spiritual ea este marcată de însuşirea scrisului şi de existenţa a numeroase cunoştinţe ştiinţifice; pe plan politic, este vremea organizării celei mai înalte la care a ajuns societatea dacică, statul lui Burebista şi Decebal. Se cuvine subliniată unitatea profundă a civilizaţiei dacice. Complexul din Munţii Orăştiei este un fenomen singular, dar cercetările au dovedit că elementele care-l compun se regăsesc, pe scară mai redusă, în alte zone. Descoperirile reflectă existenţa unui sistem de apărare vast şi complex, care justifică, pentru intervalul cronologic post Burebista, continuarea existenţei statului dac transilvănean, care avea să unească din nou, pe vremea lui Decebal, majoritatea triburilor geto-dacice din celelalte regiuni ale ţării.
