Gamzigrad-Studien I: Ergebnisse der deutsch-serbischen Forschungen im Umfeld des Palastes Romuliana
https://doi.org/10.34780/a3p5-3u68
Synopsis
The volume presents the results of a Serbian-German cooperation project that ran from 2004 to 2012, the starting point of which was a colloquium in 2003 celebrating 50 years of systematic excavations at the site of the palace of the Roman emperor Galerius (305-311). New geomorphological, geophysical and archaeological investigations have resulted in a substantially expanded picture of the archaeological landscape in the surroundings of Galerius’ palace from the Neolithic to the Middle Ages, into which the late Roman Imperial palace Felix Romuliana fits seamlessly. More than 50 new archaeological objects have been discovered across an area of c. 5 km2 in the immediate vicinity of the Romuliana-Gamzigrad palatial complex. Most of these were located in an area surrounded by a wall measuring roughly 250–300 m across, an area exceeding that of the palace.
The results of archaeological excavations in combination with detailed specialist studies allow a closer understanding of the topographical conditions of the palace, as well as of its integration into the wider settlement-topographical and settlement-historical context. In addition, they have made a more differentiated chronological understanding of the site Romuliana-Gamzigrad possible. This results in a significantly longer and more intensive occupation of the now more broadly defined site than was previously assumed. At the same time, however, the results raise new questions regarding the nature of the built-up area north of the palace and its functional connection with the main complex or its predecessor, as well as the function of the older fortress complex in the late antique communication and economic networks of the Balkan region.
