The latest volume in the Castellum Pannonicum Pelsonense series reports on current research
projects concerning the inner fortifications of Pannonia and selected case studies related to
the military and villa architecture in a region extending from Pannonia to the Black Sea. Eight
contributions compare the well-known fortifications of Alsóheténypuszta Keszthely-Fenékpuszta
Ságvár Tác und Környe with further castra and villae in other regions. They offer a
perspective that looks beyond the Danube provinces towards the High Rhine in the west and the
central Balkans in the south. Chronologically the period under investigation ranges from the
late 3rd century to the early 7th century A.D.. The studies highlight the importance of
landscape archaeology in interpretation and the embedding of specific establishments at
micro-regional and macro-regional scales as attested by new evidence concerning their
function.
