Drumul roman de pe valea Mureşului între localităţile Brîncoveneşti şi Războieni-Cetate. Studiu topografic şi arheologic

  • Subiect: The present study tries to establish which the route of the Roman road was alongside the valley of Mureş between the localities Brâncoveneşti and Războieni-Cetate. We used first the data from the modern historiography. Several historians and Romanian scholars have mentioned the presence of a Roman road alongside the valley of Mureş. We also used the information from some Austrian maps, which contains numerous topographical details. Vasile Christescu, Emil Panaitescu, Mihail Macrea, Mihai Blăjan, Wilhelm Theiss and Paul Vasile Preda are some historians that offer details in their books and articles about the route of this important Roman road. We also were able to consult the archaeological repertories, in which there are mentions of 29 localities where is attested the presence of the Roman road. We structured our study in seven parts. The first one contains geographical, geomorphologic, climatic data about the valley of Mureş and its role in the landscape of the Transylvanian plateau. Next we mentioned that there are no ancient sources containing data on this road. Besides that, there are several mentions in the books and articles published by modern researchers and historians. These were analysed in the third part of the study. We used some Austrian maps, which present the route of the Roman road. These were discussed in the fourth part of the article. Then, in the fifth part, we tried to see which are the main topographic characteristics of the route of the Roman road alongside the valley of Mureş. The sixth part presents the point with archaeological discoveries, all of them from the Roman era. The final part is, practically, the conclusion of the study. The Roman road measures, between the Roman military camp from Războieni-Cetate and that from Brâncoveneşti, approximately 90 km. In the first sector, between Războieni and Bogata, the Roman road was constructed on the right side of Mureş. Then, in the second sector, between the localities Bogata and Cristeşti, the road passes on the left side of Mureş. We think that the Roman placed at Gligoreşti a bridge over the river Arieş. In the last sector, between Cristeşti and Războieni-Cetate, the road passes again on the right side of the river Mureş.
