In his paper the author deals with the latest period of Roman Pannonia and the problem of the survival of the provincial population. In the study, the author examined all kind of written and epigraphic combining with the archaeological evidence that led the author to the conclusion that provincial Roman population in Northern Pannonia, the modern Hungarian Transdanubia could hardly survive the Hunnic rule. The surprising rich material culture of the Keszthely culture has nothing do with the original Pannonians. The later, mainly Greek epigraphic data are (their list can be found in the Appendix) very sporadic, and they were brought to the Carpathian Basin as import or booties.

In his paper, the author studies the problem of the identification of the late Roman imperial villa in Pannonia called Murocincta that has been several times identified with villa unearthed in Bruckneudorf, Austria. According to Ammianus Marcellinus' account the future emperor, Valentinian II and his mother stayed in this villa when Valentinian I died in Brigetio in November, 375. According to the historian, the villa lied in a distance of 100 Roman miles from the place where the council was held about the elevation. As the young Valentinian II was proclaimed in Aquincum, the author came to the conclusion the council was held here that is why the identification of Murocincta is uncertain and all fenced (muro cincta) imperial villae in Valeria and Pannonia prima must be considered. The author examines the events of the year 375 as well, with a special regard to the places where Valentinian I stayed (in chronological order: Carnuntum, Aquincum, Savaria and Brigetio).

In his paper the author deals with the antique sources concerning the Boii in the Carpathian Basin before the Roman conquest. Strabo as the most important source on the history of the Boii does not confirm the total extinction of the tribe either. It seems that their territory north of the Danube was evacuated under Augustus, probably 6 AD (latest 19 AD). Boiohaemum was only a part of the Boian territory occupied later by the Marcomanni.

Dieser Beitrag diskutiert eine Reihe von Personennamen in der lateinischen Inschrift CIL III 3593=10544 aus Pannonien. Da er ein unbestreitbar keltisches Anthroponym enthält, ist der Text in der Keltologie wohlbekannt. Dennoch gibt es Gründe, diese Inschrift noch einmal zu betrachten. Die Neulektüre der Inschrift ermöglicht eine wesentliche Neubetrachtung des Textes. Die darin enthaltenen Personennamen werden überprüft und die Verwandtschaftsverhältnisse innerhalb der Familie aus Aquincum wesentlich neugeordnet.

AbstractIn his paper the author deals with the contributions of a new volume on the history of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century and added several additional notes to each paper. As several papers studied the relationship of Ravenna and Attila the Hun the author examined the written sources concerning the Huns in detail and came to the conclusion that there was only one foedus concluded with Attila after 433 and Pannonia was ceded to the Huns in this treaty. Attila was formally the magister militum of the Western Roman Empire.

In the early 18th century, the Italian L. F. Marsigli described inscribed and noninscribed monuments from Roman Intercisa. Several of the inscriptions are addressed in this paper and for one of them (CIL III 3332) sense is given to the few, hitherto incomprehensible letters and an interpretation and text reconstruction is proposed. The fragment is part of a slab with a building inscription in the context of the military camp at Intercisa and dated to the reigns of either Commodus or Caracalla.

AbstractIn his paper the author summarizes the research of Roman Pannonia in the recent decades, mainly after 1986 when Pavel Oliva edited his volume of the series Tabula Imperii Romani, He examined the most important historical and administrative events of the province. Kovács also delt with the new historical monographs that studied the entire history or administration of Pannonia and the most important towns. The author separately examined the new epigraphic works, corpora and the new inscribed finds. In the last part of his paper he delt with the new archaeological discoveries from Brigetio to Sirmium.

In his paper the author deals with the date of Attila's death. Several scholarly works dealt already with Attila's death and the written sources. The antique source dates his death to the year 453 shortly before Attila's planned campaign against Marcian. On the other hand, Leo the Great's letters has not been examined regarding this issue. In one of his letters written 11 March 451, the pope mentions the still existing dangers ( flagella ) where obviously refer to Attila and the Huns. This means nothing was known about Attila's death in the middle of March of 453 in Rome, so the Hun king must have died a little bit later.

Abstract In his paper the author deals with the Acts of the Council of Chalcedon where a certain Valerian, the bishop of a settlement called Bassiana emerged several times. As he attended the synod of 448 at Constantinople as well, he lived in Constantinople most probably as refugee. Following E. Schwartz's correction, the author also comes to the conclusion that Valerian was mistakenly identified as the African bishop in the original Greek list and he was rather the bishop of the Pannonian Bassianae. He had to flee from his hometown to Constantinople because of the Hun occupation in 441 as his province already belonged to East Rome.

In his paper the author re-examines the lost funerary inscription of Constantius ‘dux’ following his earlier study and the subsequent study written by J.W.P. Wijnendaele and M. Hanaghan. In their study, the authors used the results of Kovács's earlier paper but several times they misinterpreted the author's conclusions. According to the author, their work was unnecessary and there is no need to re-evaluate the suggested date (420s) and identification given by him.

The paper presents the technical characteristics of the PGSR-3i ‘Beagle’ ground surveillance radar (GSR) manufactured by the Hungarian company Pro Patria Electronics, and a description of its tests, conducted by the Air Force Institute of Technology as part of the supply of the ground surveillance radar for the Polish Army. The conditions and limitations of selected tests and the applied methods for compensating adverse terrain conditions preventing the correct functioning of the tested radar were also discussed. The article also contains the results of selected tests.

On December 11, 2020, the International Court of Justice (ICJ or Court) delivered by majority its judgment on the merits of the litigation between Equatorial Guinea and France concerning the legal status of a building at 42 Avenue Foch, situated in Paris, in the very elegant 16th district, close to the Arc de Triomphe (Place de l'Étoile/Place Charles de Gaulle).

In his paper the author deals with a lost late Roman funerary text, Constantius’ epitaph. Based on the manuscript tradition, the epitaph was probably erected in Rome or more rather at Ravenna. Constantius was an important military commander of Western Rome in the 5th century and he had an important role in the fifth century history of Roman Pannonia as he fought against the Barbarians, most probably the Huns who settled down in Pannonia. The earlier identifications must be rejected but his person – unfortunately – cannot be identified with Flavius Constantius Felix. On the other hand, the events (fights against the Huns and the sea-going Vandals) mentioned in the funerary epigram fit perfectly into the period at the beginning of Valentinian III’s reign.

In his paper the author examines the sources of the supposed Western Roman military expedition of Emperor Avitus in Pannonia in 455 that was thought to be the last Roman military action in the territory of the former Roman province. Analizing the sources, he comes to the conclusion that during his short reign, Avitus had no time to visit the province and his route (iter) mentioned by Sidonius Apollinaris must be identified with his journey from Arelate to Rome. The Roman military action in Pannonia can probably be identified with a short demonstrative campaign in the SW region of the dioecesis (i.e. Savia) or with a legation of the Pannonian Barbarians to the emperor in Northern Italy.

In his paper the author deals with the famous verse inscription CIL III 3676 that described an event in Pannonia in 118 AD during Emperor Hadrian’s visit. Based on the thorough examination of the very long manuscript tradition of the text the lost epitaph was most probably erected in/or around Rome and never belonged to Pannonian inscriptions. It seems there was an earlier unknown Italian and British line of the tradition but the archetypus (x) remains unknown. The author also intends to point out that the Batavian rider cannot surely be called Soranus. This adjective refers rather to the findspot, Sora near Rome. The question of the rider’s name und his unit must remain unsolved. The poem was attributed to Emperor Hadrian latest from the Late Antiquity.

In his paper the author summarizes the results of the epigraphic research in Hungary concerning the Roman period Pannonia with a special regard to the systematic works of the series Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum III2 Pannonia and the Tituli Aquincenses. In this period 41 new stone inscriptions have been published and 58 instrumenta inscriptions. It is also noteworthy that several new falsi came to light.
