This paper offers a detailed overview of the archeological data from the “Roman Rural Landscapes in Noricum” (RRLN) project. It focuses on the less-explored northern and northeastern rural regions of ...Roman-period Noricum (c. 16/15 BC to 488 AD). The University of Vienna’s PHAIDRA system was employed for the long-term archiving of selected new archeological data, adhering to the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles. The project adopted an innovative digital archeology approach, combining open geodata with various unstructured datasets within a Geographic Information System (GIS) framework. Accordingly, this method aimed to deepen our understanding of Roman rural landscapes in a specific Area of Interest (AoI). The paper highlights the selective preservation of crucial archeological data in a specialized repository and also promotes open science to improve the discoverability and usability of data related to Roman-period objects.
Eugippius' Life of Severinus is a text in which society is described through the dichotomy between Romans and barbarians. In this paper, I examine how exactly Eugippius imagines this polarity and to ...what rhetorical and persuasive ends he employs it. In particular, I focus on his complex portrayal of the barbarians which reveals his views on what place they might occupy in the Roman and Christian vision of history and politics. By examining the social and political ideas in the Life of Severinus we can trace how the hagiographer perceived the disintegrating societies of the West in the fifth and sixth centuries and what attitudes he advocated that could help de-escalate violence and overcome divisions. Finally, I discuss the extent to which Eugippius' representation of the relationship between Romans and barbarians corresponded to the interests and anxieties of his Italian audience living under Ostrogothic rule.
The publication focuses on a small cave near St. Egyden in Carinthia (Austria), where archaeological excavations were carried out in 2011. The scientific evaluation of the archaeological data has ...shown that the place was a Roman-era cult site, which is characterized by remains of offerings and celebrations and meals held by a small rural community. In the present publication, this archaeological source material is made accessible in detail in order to discuss questions of cult practice, the deity that may has been worshipped, and the organization and composition of the cult community.
Im Zentrum der Veröffentlichung steht eine bei St. Egyden in Kärnten (AT) gelegene kleine Höhle, in der im Jahr 2011 archäologische Ausgrabungen durchgeführt wurden. Die wissenschaftliche Auswertung der archäologischen Daten hat gezeigt, dass es sich um einen römerzeitlichen Kultplatz handelt, der sich durch Überreste auszeichnet, die von Kultfeiern und -mählern sowie Opfergaben einer kleinen ruralen Kultgemeinschaft stammen. In der vorliegenden Publikation wird dieses archäologische Quellenmaterial detailliert zugänglich gemacht, um darauf aufbauend Fragen zur Kultpraxis, der möglicherweise verehrten Gottheit sowie der Organisation und Zusammensetzung der Kultgemeinschaft zu diskutieren.

Na nagrobnih spomenikih Norika in Zgornje Panonije so relativno pogosto upodobljene personifikacije letnih časov, ki nastopajo tako v podobi Erotov, Hor, bust, posebej pa izstopajo upodobitve Letnih ...časov kot mladeničev, saj ti kažejo nemalo likovnih sorodnosti z upodobitvami satirov, prav tako dobro zastopanih v obeh provincah. Slednji si delijo tako določene atribute kot še toliko bolj držo. Številni reliefi so bili najdeni na sekundarnih mestih, zaradi česar je nemalokrat domala nemogoče presoditi, v kolikor lik predstavlja satira ali genija letnih časov. Edinstvenega pomena je tako cikel letnih časov na grobnici Spektatijev v Šempetru v Savinjski dolini, kjer se personifikacije še posebej izrazito prepletajo z bakhičnim svetom (drža, pedum, panterjeva koža). Prav povezave z bakhično ikonografijo kažejo na časovno umestitev v seversko dobo, ko so upodobitve v prenesenem pomenu predstavljale apoteozo umrlega in upanje na brezskrbno posmrtno življenje.
