Spatial analysis of early Roman fortifications in northern Negev
Pažout, Adam ; Stančo, Ladislav (advisor) ; Eisenberg, Michael (referee)
13 Abstract The present thesis aims to answer questions regarding function of many Early Roman fortifications investigated in past decades in the region of Northern Negev, i.e. in the valley of Nahal Beersheva between modern towns of Arad and Beersheva. In past, various interpretations were provided, often conflicting with each other and therefore author sought to look at this topic from different point of view, using GIS based tools to explore spatial relationships between the fortifications and settlements in terms of intervisibility (for military signaling and control) and relation to road-system. Moreover, Early Roman Judaea was unstable region with high prevalence of banditry and thus assumption is that military responded to these threats. The results of viewshed analysis (intervisiblity) and least-cost path (reconstruction of road system) can roughly divide the region in question to the zones. In the first zone, most of the fortifications are intervisible and also exercise control of settlements and roads; while in the second zone forts cannot communicate using signals but are located on important roads providing water, lodging and security to travelers. It leads to conclusion that these forts served as stations of detached military units concerned with policing and administration (in both zones) and...

Roman military river boats in the 1st - 4th century A.D.
Hudáková, Mária ; Musil, Jiří (advisor) ; Titz, Pavel (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to make a comprehensive interpretation of Roman military river boats from the 1st - 4th century A.D. which will be mainly oriented on the direct archaeological findings of these ships. To better understand the function and the use of the boats, the first chapter will present various military units that commanded their own flotillas, whereby commentary will be predominantly focused on the river fleets. The core of this thesis will be devoted to the issue of military river boats. In the introduction of the second part of this work, we will firstly present historical sources which will help us with the study of these boats. Based on the detailed analysis of these valuable artefacts we will show the partial typological development of the boats as well as the development of Roman shipbuilding methods and techniques. In the last chapter, the interpretation of the Roman military river boats will be supplemented with the ships known only from the written and iconographical sources as well as with sea ships which could have been operated on the rivers too. The aim of the last part will be to compare sea boats with river boats and fleets stressing the importance of those operated on rivers. Keywords Roman river boats, Roman army, river fleets, Mainz, Oberstimm, Zwammerdam, Trajan's...
