Borderland Dynamics: Exploring Interactions Between Germanic and Roman Worlds in the Middle Danube Region Through Comprehensive Archaeological Data

Original language description

During the initial four centuries following the transition of eras, the Middle Danube region evolved into a distinctive borderland zone between the provincial Roman and the Germanic territories. This region became a focal point for diverse interactions, predominantly characterized by peaceful exchanges. While conflict periods constituted a smaller proportion of the Roman Period, more or less visible in archaeological record (e.g., Domitians‘ Suebian wars and Marcomannic wars), the repercussions of some were profound, shaping the geopolitical landscape. The long-term development of the Middle Danube borderland could be, to a significant extent, reflected through data from the MARCOMANNIA dataset, compiled through extensive archaeological research within the Marcomannic settlement zone west of the Lesser Carpathians. This dataset forms part of a broader project-based (Czech Science Foundation) activities oriented, amongst others, to derive quantitatively representative indicators of various developmental trajectories of the Germanic populations in the study area. Through spatiotemporal evaluation of representative archaeological components (settlements, burial grounds), contexts (graves, housing units), and material culture categories such as brooches, coins, and metal vessels, these trajectories illuminate demographic, economic, political, and social aspects of Germanic societies within the Marcomannic settlement zone, providing valuable insights into the development of the complex relations and multifaceted interactions between the Germanic and Roman environments along the Middle Danube Limes.
