Antoninský Limes: Srovnání Antoninova valu a Odenwaldsko-Neckarské sekce Hornogermánského limitu
Dyčka, Michal ; Musil, Jiří (advisor) ; Rummel, Christoph (referee) ; Collins, Robert Michael (referee)
Despite the Limes Romanus has already been studied for more than 150 years, fundamental questions such as its construction, later modifications and primary function itself are still a matter of dynamic debate. From the historical sources it is currently known that a major role during the construction and planning of the whole system performed so called agrimensores using the simple geodetic tools like groma. Therefore, the essential role during the construction of the Limes had the direct visibility between individual sites of the future frontier. The core of this thesis is the presentation of the results of the so called viewshed analysis of individual sites on the Odenwald Limes (Germany) and on the Antonine Wall (Scotland). Based on combination of this method with results of the other spatial analyses in GIS, the nodal sites for both the surveying and operation of the Limes are detected in each studied sector. The thesis is also dealing with the distribution of the units in the landscape, terrain definition of the positioning of individual parts of the Limes as well as with the possibility of mutual signal communication between individual parts of the frontier. The main goal of the thesis is to shed a bit more light on the fundamental questions: how the Limes Romanus was supposed to operate and...

The Romans in Britain and limes from 77 to 211 AD.
Holý, Ondřej ; Musil, Jiří (advisor) ; Dyčka, Michal (referee)
The primary goal of this bachelor's thesis is the study and description of military operations run by the Roman army in the province of Britannia from the year 77 a.c. until 211 a.c. which led to the introduction of limits (limes Romanus) in the area, mostly due to written, primarily archeological, causes. In the following chapters the individual military operations are described in detail and in context with the locations which archeologically show the Romans' presence, foremost thanks to fortifications built in the province of Britannia during the aforementioned time period. Key words Roman province of Britannia Military operations Roman marching camps Limes Romanus

Roman Occupations of Scotland
Dyčka, Michal ; Musil, Jiří (advisor) ; Bouzek, Jan (referee)
This work is dealing with individual phases of Roman occupations of Scotland, namely with the Flavian, Antonine and Severan ones. The assessment of these occupations is based on both historical and especially archeological sources and particular attention is paid to those sites, where the presence of Roman occupation forces can be proved in above mentioned periods. The content of the dissertation is put into historical, political and military context of Roman presence on territory of nowadays Scotland. The goal of this study is linking up of already available information and researches into coherent view of patterns of Roman occupation and administration in Flavian, Antonine and Severan periods of government.

Limes in Scotland, Antonine wall
Dyčka, Michal ; Musil, Jiří (advisor) ; Bouzek, Jan (referee)
This work attends to the Roman limes in Scotland, especially the Antonine Wall. Apart from the Wall itself, there is analysis of the whole Roman presence in Scotland, begining with the forts and smaller military enclosures jointed to the Wall, continuing with the whole network of roads and fortifications north and south of the Wall. In particular chapters is discussed the whole historical overtone of Roman presence in Scotland, the topography of each significant site, by which author means those ones, which are connected with the Antonine occupation of Scotland and the Roman limes in the region of nowadays Scotland. Apart from military sites, this work is concerned on one hand with the impact of Roman short-time presence on native population. On the other hand it includes study of history of the researches in the area of modern Scotland, or the relevance of studying the partial sources in the framework of the whole research of limes in Sctoland. This work is also concerned with the builders of the Wall itself, same like the soldiers on the guarding duty on the Wall and their life in the harsch climate of the very north edge of the Roman Empire.
