Prăbuşirea apărării romane de frontieră la Dunărea de Mijloc şi de Jos după 378 cu privire specială la provincia Dacia Ripensis

  • Subiect: In the first part of his work the author (N. Gudea) surveys the territorial and political evolution of the Goths starting from the middle of the 3rd century up to 376 (Bierbrauer 1994; Harhoiu 1990; Magomedov 2001). The great Gothic attacks from the middle of the 3rd century in the area of Lower Danube, were followed by a relative calmness, disturbed only by the conflicts from Constantinus' time. After the 376 treaty the Goths were accepted as federates in the Empire and owing to reasons, much discussed until now, the conflict was released which brought about the destruction of the Roman army (Hadrianopolis 378). Four categories of historical and archaeological sources have been analysed: a. texts of ancient authors (contemporaries with the events) presenting the military events from the provinces of the Lower Danube; b. the list of certain events constituting (economic, social and demographical) results of the military situation after 378; c. the list of latest monetary discoveries in fortifications situated on the northern border of Dacia Ripensis; d. information about the archaeological situation from these fortifications, which indicates a massive destruction level, datable to the end of the 4th century. On the basis of out coming dates from these four categories of sources the conclusions concerning the situation of the border and the provinces after Hadrianopolis battle would be as follows: - the provinces from the Lower and Middle Danube (Pannonia II, Moesia I, Dacia Ripensis, Moesia II, Scythia Minor, Dardania, Dacia Mediteraneea etc.) were lost for the Empire; - the Goths did not fulfil their obligations as federates and passed to a brutal robbery of the provinces (towns, villages, forts etc.); - the border fortifications were destroyed; other barbarians were crossing the river, taking active part in the robbery; - the border army ceased to exist; the troops of the central army withdraw in Thracia and Greece (the emperor being at Thessaloniki); - the territories from the north of the Balkan Mountains were lost for 20 years, being depopulated, with a destroyed Roman economy.
