Beiträge zur Kenntnis des spätrömischen Heers (4 Jahrhundert) 1. Waffen für den Fernkampf aus den Wehranlagen an der Nordgrenze von Dacia Ropensis

  • TITLU în română: Contribuţii la cunoaşterea armatei în perioada romană târzie (sec. al IV-lea) 1. Arme pentru lupta de la distanţă din fortificaţiile de pe frontiera nordică a Daciei Ripensis
  • Subiect: The author drew together works about the fortifications, the Late Roman army of Dacia Ripensis (275-390), Fig. 1-2, and the weapons for distance fight: bow elements, ballista elements and spear heads, as well as heavy and light arrow heads. On the north border of the province Dacia Ripensis there were 45 fortifications (quadriburgia, old rebuilt camps, fortified towns, towers etc.), but until now studied weapons are coming from seven of them: Donje Butorka (1), Orşova (4), Tekija (14), Milutinovac (2), Hinova (36), Rtkovo (7), Kula (19) and Celei (5), Fig. 3. The weapons have been divided into three groups: I. spear heads, II. heavy arrow heads; III. light arrow heads. Within each group the author proposed a certain typology according to the shape of the blade (head), sizes of the shaft and ways of fixing (butt spike). Three groups have been drawn up: l.arge and medium spearheads; willow leaf, pear leaf and rhomboidal shaped blade; with butt spike and spike-rods. Fig. 4; 2. The heavy arrow heads were also grouped according to size into large and medium pieces; with pyramidal shaped blade; with butt spike and spikerods. Fig. 21; 3. All light arrow heads are of small dimensions (up to 5,00 cm total length); the form of the blade being varied (leaf form, pyramidal form, rhomboidal shaped; with butt spike and spike-rods). Fig. 22. The present typology has been drawn up on the basis of a reduced number of up to now known pieces, it will undergo improvement when more pieces are known. The comparison with the Late Roman weapons for certainly dated 4th century fortifications on other late Roman border sections as Vemania (Raetia II) or Gornea (Moesia I) suggests that this typology constitutes a serious basis for the knowledge of the Late Roman weapons.
