The Ripa Pannonica in Hungary
Author: Zsolt Visy
Publisher: Akademiai Kiads
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
This book traces the history of the Roman Empire in what is now Hungary and considers the legacy of the Empire. The Roman Empire was the largest and longest existing empire in the history of the world. Its frontier extended as far as the Danube during the reign of Augustus, and Transdanubia formed a significant part of the province of Pannonia. The Roman Army's deployment along the frontiers began at the end of the first century AD. Between this point in time and the Late Roman Period (the fourth century AD), military units were only stationed along the province's frontier, the Danube River, and these river frontiers were denoted by the word ripa. The frontier in Pannonia extended from the Vienna Basin as far as the mouth of the Save River. It is typical that the sites of three legionary bases along this section of the frontier became the capitals of three countries: Vindobona (Vienna), Aquincum (Budapest), and Singidunum (Belgrade), although the latter belonged to the neighboring prov

The Danube Frontier
Author: Michael Schmitz
Publisher: Pen and Sword Military
ISBN: 1473865573
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
The Roman conquests of Macedonia in the 2nd century BC led directly to the extension of their authority over the troublesome tribes of Thrace to the south of the Danube. But their new neighbor on the other side of the mighty river, the kingdom of the Dacians, was to pose an increasing threat to the Roman empire. Inevitably, this eventually provoked Roman attempts at invasion and conquest. It is a measure of Dacian prowess and resilience that several tough campaigns were required over more than a century before their kingdom was added to the Roman Empire. It was one of the Empire's last major acquisitions (and a short-lived one at that). Dr. Michael Schmitz traces Roman involvement in the Danube region from first contact with the Thracians after the Third Macedonian War in the 2nd century BC to the ultimate conquest of Dacia by Trajan in the early years of the 2nd Century AD. Like the other volumes in this series, this book gives a clear narrative of the course of these wars, explaining how the Roman war machine coped with formidable new foes and the challenges of unfamiliar terrain and climate. Specially commissioned color plates bring the main troop types vividly to life in meticulously researched detail.

Roman Standards & Standard-Bearers (2)
Author: Raffaele D’Amato
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1472836480
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 65
Book Description
The Late Roman Empire was a period of significant change in the designs of standards and in the costumes of standard-bearers. During the middle decades of the chaotic 3rd century, evidence confirms the continued use of the old legionary eagle and the signa of the old cohorts and centuries, alongside flags and Imperial images. The two major trends over the later generations were the adoption of Christian symbols on standards (e.g. Constantine the Great's Chi-Rho), and the proliferation of different types of flags. This had begun in the late 2nd century with the adoption of the 'barbarian' dragon standard, the windsock-shaped draco, which continued to be displayed alongside various other flags in the Greek-speaking Eastern Empire, whose influence increased greatly. Meanwhile, the growing employment of foreign units was such that by the 5th century we have evidence of the use of Hunnic symbolism among a Roman general's suite of standards. The costumes of standard-bearers also evolved as 'Persian' styles spread from Constantinople. This title explores all these changes in depth, charting the development of various costumes and designs and the waxing and waning influence of various cultures and religious considerations. The text is supported by specially commissioned illustrations and artist's reconstructions of the standards and their bearers.
