Description
Summary:The concentration of finds from the Roman period, including militaria, together with the configuration of the terrain with its relicts of extinct roads in the form of cuttings in the hilly landscape west of Jevíčko is evidence of the existence of a road in the Roman period, the embouchure of which was controlled by a short-term Roman camp. Artefacts and the strategic situation of Hradiště hill with its wide visual surveillance enable us to form the hypothesis of a possible forward guard point controlled by a Roman garrison in this place. The finds could as well represent lost items, or evidence of the ritual behaviour of Barbarians. © 2021 by the authors.
