  • Surveying in Obuda Excavations
    SURVEYING IN OBUDA EXCAVATIONS By F. NOEH Department of Surveying, Institute of Geodesy, Surveying and Photogrammetry, Technical University, Budapest Received: ~ovember 15, 1976 Presented by Prof, Dr. Lajos HO)IORODL Director Branches of industry and SCIence where geodesy and related knowledge find an application include archaeology and monuments preservation. There is, howeyer, a scarcity of publicatious on geodesy in archaeology. The more inter­ esting seems to be an account of geodesy aspects of archaeological excavations in Obuda, now a district of Budapest. The first professional archaeological excavation in Hungary was made exactly in 6buda, near the actual FI6rian ter, where in 1778 Istvan Sch6nvisner excavated ruins of a Roman bath known actually to have belonged to the Roman castrum in Aquincum. Half a century later, excayations were under­ taken in the area of the civil town Aquincum near the actual Aquincum museum, and auother half a century later, track construction of the Szentendre district railways detected a Roman aqueduct connecting these two spots, highlighting archaeological excavations. By the turn of the century, the search for Fe/z€regyhaza, mediaeval predecessor of 6buda, and for the tomb of con­ quering Arpad, and in general, investigation of mediaeval settlement structures came to the foreground; planned, wide-range archeological research in 6buda dates from the World War I years. Since then, archacologicai work was multi­ faceted, purposeful, but concentrated at given spots. Most sensational excava­ tions of this period are the amphitheatrum in N agyszombat-utca, the palace of Roman pro consuls in the Shipyard Island, the mosaic-decorated Villa Her­ culea in Meggyfa utca, and th~ Aquincum ruin field itself, illustrative of gran­ deur and life of the Roman civilian town of quondam.

  • The Top-Ranking Towns in the Balkan and Pannonian Provinces of the Roman Empire Najpomembnejša Antična Mesta Balkanskih Provinc in Obeh Panonij
    Arheološki vestnik 71, 2020, 193–215; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3986/AV.71.05 193 The top-ranking towns in the Balkan and Pannonian provinces of the Roman Empire Najpomembnejša antična mesta balkanskih provinc in obeh Panonij Damjan DONEV Izvleček Rimska mesta balkanskih in podonavskih provinc so bila doslej le redko del raziskav širših mestnih mrež. Namen prispevka je prepoznati glavne značilnosti mestnih sistemov in na podlagi najpomembnejših mest provincialne mestne hierarhije poiskati njihovo vpetost v ekonomijo provinc v času severske dinastije. Avtor se osredotoča na primerjavo veli- kosti prvorazrednih mest z ostalimi naselbinami, upošteva pa tudi njihovo lego in kmetijsko bogastvo zaledja. Ugotavlja, da moramo obravnavano območje glede na ekonomske vire razumeti kot obrobje rimskega imperija. Glavna bogastva obravnavanih provinc so bili namreč les, volna, ruda in delovna sila, kar se jasno izraža tudi v osnovnih geografskih parametrih prvorazrednih mest: v njihovi relativno skromni velikosti, obrobni legi in vojaški naravi. Ključne besede: Balkanski polotok; Donava; principat; urbanizacija; urbani sistemi Abstract The Roman towns of the Balkan and Danube provinces have rarely been studied as parts of wider urban networks. This paper attempts to identify the principle features of these urban systems and their implications for the economy of the provinces at the time of the Severan dynasty, through the prism of the top-ranking towns in the provincial urban hierarchies. The focus will be on the size of the first-ranking settlements in relation to the size of the lower-ranking towns, their location and the agricultural riches of their hinterlands. One of the main conclusions of this study is that, from an economic perspective, the region under study was a peripheral part of the Roman Empire.

    The CEU Summer University announces the course LUMINOSUS LIMES GEOGRAPHICAL, ETHNIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL FRONTIERS IN LATE ANTIQUITY JULY 7 – JULY 12, 2014 BUDAPEST, HUNGARY COURSE DIRECTORS Marianne Sághy, Central European University, Hungary Noel Lenski, University of Colorado, USA Rita Lizzi Testa, University of Perugia, Italy FACULTY Zsolt Visy, University of Pecs, Hungary Ádám Szabó, Hungarian National Museum, Hungary Levente Nagy, University of Pecs, Hungary Anna Tóth, Károli Gáspár University, Hungary Claudia-Maria Behling, University of Vienna, Austria Paula Zsidi, Aquincum Museum, Hungary Sylvia Palágyi, Nemesvámos-Baláca Roman Villa Complex, Hungary BRIEF COURSE DESCRIPTION This course explores the dynamic transformation of classical frontiers between the second and the sixth century from a multidisciplinary perspective: archaeology, social and cultural history, art, theology, and literature. 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.

  • 273 KING ARTHUR of the ROMANS: LUCIUS ARTORIUS CASTUS and the SARMATIANS in BRITAIN J O H N M a T T H E W S the Earliest Docum
    KING ARTHUR OF THE ROMANS: LUCIUS ARTORIUS CASTUS AND THE SARMATIANS IN BRITAIN J o h n M a t t h e w s UDK:94(37)Artorius Castus, L. 821.111-34 Izvorni znanstveni rad John Matthews Oxford (FIOS, BCM Hallowquest London U radu se iznose moguće veze između života rimskog vojnika iz 2. st., Lucija Artorija Kasta, i kasnijih, srednjovjekovnih legendi oko polu- mitskog kralja Artura. Autor pretpostavlja da se zahvaljujući natpisu otkrivenom u blizini Splita (Podstrana), može izgraditi čvrsta teza da je Kast bio najstariji povijesni lik za koji se može dokaza- ti da je utjecao na razvitak kasnijih legendi u Bri- taniji. Sačuvane su priče o sarmatskim ratnicima koji su u Britaniju došli kao dio rimskih legija, a kojima je zapovijedao sam Kast; naime sarmatske i keltske priče stapaju se međusobno u razdoblju nakon Kastovog života. The earliest documents that record the deeds of the British hero Arthur show that he was not perceived as a king but as a soldier, bearing the Latin title dux (duke); a charismatic leader who fought ‘alongside the leaders of the British’. Just such a man is a career-officer of the legions named Lucius Artorius Castus, who lived and fought in Britain in the 2nd century AD – almost 300 years earlier than the more usually accepted dates for Arthur. ‘Arthur’ is the generally accepted form today, but in reality this name has a far longer history and a variety of spellings. It can be proven with reasonable certainty that ‘Artorius’ either derives from the British name Arthur or is the Latin original of that name.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Today the word archaeology, the study of man's past by mcans of the material relics left to posterity, is, of course, familiar. But the public still associates the concept of aIchaeology with that of the so-called clas;ical world, for the public is familiar with the spectacular discoveries of thc last century in Greece, Italy, Asia MinoT, Egypt, and Mesopotamia. Relatively unkno'w!l, however, are more recent discoveries i1) the various provinces of the Roman Empire, where some of the most important large.scale excavations are currently taking place. The artifacts uncovered bring to light the picture of a fascinating culture, snggesting the inge­ nuity of the indigenous population. We catch a glimpse of life at the time of the Romans, before and during the early years of Christianity, not at the usual centers, bUl at the frontiers of Ccntral Europe. When the power of the Roman Empire was on the wane, these provinces became as vital to the Romans as the Italian peninsula itself. The fate of the borders became more crucial than ever before. Pannonia was one of thesc border provinces in Central Europe, lying in the Danube Valley, bctween the Alps and the Carpathian Mountains. Its borders were the Danube River in the north and east, the Alps to the west, and the Sava River in the s.outh. The territory corre sponds to present. day Hungary, the so<alled trans-Danubc area. Northwest Pannonia was thc present-day Burgenland of modem Austria, but it stretched into the Vienna Valley as well. South Pannonia covered the area between the Drava and Sava rivers which belongs to modem Yugoslavia.

  • Fashioning Change Discovers a Late Medieval World in Which Garments Could Express Fortune's Instability, Aesthetic Turmoil
    “Fashioning Change discovers a late medieval world in which garments could express fortune’s instability, aesthetic turmoil, and spiritual crisis. Fashion was good to think. In lucid and compelling detail, Andrea Denny-Brown reveals just how and why the dress of ecclesiastics, dandies, wives, and kings figured mutability as an inescapable worldly condition.” —Susan Crane, professor of English and Comparative Literature, Columbia University, and author of The Performance of Self: Ritual, Clothing, and Identity during the Hundred Years War “Fashioning Change is one of the most original and inventive studies of medieval cul- ture I have read. It is a book about the experience of social desire, the nature of civi- lized life, the relationships of craft and culture, and the aesthetics of performance. More than just a book about fashion, it is about fashioning: the self, society, and poetry. It is, therefore, a study of how medieval writers fashioned themselves and their worlds through an attentive encounter with the arts of bodily adornment. Engagingly written and scrupulously researched, Fashioning Change will be a signal contribution to the field of medieval studies.” —Seth Lerer, Dean of Arts and Humanities and Distinguished Professor of Literature at the University of California at San Diego “It is rare to find a book that casts its nets widely while meticulously analyzing the texts it discusses. This book does both. Denny-Brown provides insight into philosophical texts, cultural symbolics in textual and visual art, religious and theological texts and practices, Middle English poetry, and national identity, which taken together makes the book an invaluable index to medieval—not just Middle English—notions about fash- ion, philosophical approaches to change, gender dynamics, and aesthetics.” —Maura Nolan, University of California, Berkeley “Denny-Brown draws on texts of many genres as well as historical information to show that fashion—and the promise of fortune that accompanied it—had great appeal for men and women in the Middle Ages.
