Marcomannic Wars – Consequences of a Conflict Based on a Comprehensive Dataset

Original language description

During the first four centuries after the turn of the era, a specific borderland emerged within the Middle Danube region, marking the coexistence of the provincial and barbarian (predominantly Germanic) worlds. This region became a scene of multifaceted Roman-barbarian interactions, primarily peaceful. Although conflict periods constituted a considerably smaller proportion of the Roman Period, some had far-reaching implications for overall relations and geopolitical situations. The large-scale military conflict known as the Marcomannic Wars significantly impacted not only the borderland of the Middle Danube region but also extended deep into Germanic and Roman environments. The presence of direct and indirect evidence of Roman military operations, such as field camps, and their spatial distribution throughout Germanic territories allow for assumptions about Roman military leadership's strategic and tactical conceptions. The impact of this conflict and the post-war development of the region can be inferred from a dataset based on the large-scale collection of published archaeological information from the Marcomannic settlement zone west of the Lesser Carpathians. The dataset MARCOMANNIA emerged as part of a project with one of its objectives being the derivation of quantitatively representative proxies for various development trajectories of Germanic populations within the study region. They were based on archaeological components, primarily settlement and burial grounds, as well as contexts such as burials and finds such as brooches, coins, and militaria. These trajectories offer structured insights into Germanic societies' demographic, economic, political, and social developmental tendencies within the Marcomannic settlement zone and allow for quantification of the impact of the Marcomannic wars.
