1 Title: Waldgirmes in the context of the Augustan period Author: Karel Kůt Department: Institute for Classical Archaeology, Charles University Supervisior: Doc. PhDr. Jiří Musil, PhD. Abstract: The thesis focuses on the locality of the Roman period in Waldgirmes (contemporary Germany) in the context of Roman expansion in the time of Augustan rule. It concentrates on archaeological situation, structure and disposition of objects and used building technologies. It brings the interpretation of local space and references to ancient sources. It approaches a broader perspective from the viewpoint of Augustan horizon with its related invasion to Germany, where the axis of army penetration was formed by the rivers Lippe, Mohan and Lahn. As the Romans used to establish their supporting strategic points along these rivers, the thesis focuses also on other fortifications and constructions created in this period and in the given area. It also takes into consideration the forms of coexistence of the Romans with the original inhabitants. Keywords: Waldgirmes, Augustus, Romans, Germania

Greek and Roman reformers
Grigoryan, Hračja ; Skřejpek, Michal (advisor) ; Bělovský, Petr (referee)
The goal of this thesis on roman and greek reformers was to create a methodical summary of the most important constitutional reforms in ancient Rome and Greece. It is mostly focussed on the history of ancient Rome or Roman reformers, respectively. I call these reforms constitutional for their undoubted life-changing impact on the society as a whole - some of the reforms changed the ancient societies for the upcoming decades and even centuries, some changed them, as I believe, forever. For example a struggle between Lucius Cornelius Sulla and Gaius Marius had a far- reaching impact on Rome as too much of "unbreakable" rules were broken - which, of course, led to another and another heavy and unprecedented interventions which ultimately led to the fall of the republic and the beginning of the new, Imperial, era. Main sources of this thesis are the texts of ancient authors, such as Plutarch Suetonius and Appian, as it was one of my goals to use primary literature as much as possible.
