The Archaeology of the Roman Provinces specialization focuses on the material remains of the Roman Imperial period and their historical and art historical contexts.

In the BA program, students study the history of the province of Pannonia, Roman art history, administrative history, military history, and economic history. They also become familiar with the characteristics of Roman settlements and burial practices, with a broader overview of the Roman Empire as a whole. In addition, through courses in material studies and various auxiliary disciplines, they gain insight into the research of specific object and material groups such as ceramics, bronze statuary, jewelry, and architecture.

In the MA program, special emphasis is placed on the teaching of Roman numismatics and epigraphy, as well as on exploring current research questions and trends in the field.

Students in this specialization participate in the Department’s training excavations, primarily at the site of the legionary camp, military town, and civilian settlement of ancient Brigetio. They also have the opportunity to join research at the Iron Age and Roman settlement of Bibracte in France.
