PN - III - ID - PCE- 2016 - 4 - 0186
Contract 130/12.07.2017

All the activities planned for 2018 have been conducted according to the established plan. In order to achieve the main objective proposed for 2018, the team members have carried out their research activities in national libraries and museums, as well as abroad. This consisted in elaborating monographic studies in different fields which attest the presence of Dacians in the province of Dacia, as well as the entirety of the Roman Empire. For this purpose, the investigations included various archaeological materials, pertaining to collections of the National History Museum of Transylvania, the History Museum Turda and the County Museum of Art and History Zalău. Partial studies conducted throughout the year were presented at different international and national communication sessions and will soon be published in volumes that are expected to illustrate the final results of the project.

In order to disseminate the results of the team members’ research in a wider international context, the main objective for 2018 consisted in organizing the international conference entitled The Roman Provinces. Mechanisms of integration. The conference was organized between the 4th and 7th of October 2018, at the Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca. The participants consisted of researchers from universities and research institutes, as well as various European museums.

During a workshop entitled The Rider Monuments from the Balkan-Danubian Provinces of the Roman Empire, the colloquium addressed the problems of local religions and beliefs in the Balkan area. In order to disseminate the results within the Romanian academic circles, a national colloquium with a similar theme was organized, in collaboration with the Museum of History Turda. The conference, entitled Populații indigene și impactul cuceririi romane în provinciile danubiene. Colonizare, romanizare, creolizare (Indigenous populations and the impact of the Roman conquest in the Danubian provinces. Colonization, romanization, creolization), took place at the Museum of History, Turda,2nd-3rd November 2018.

The objective of disseminating the research results established for the year 2018was in this way successfully achieved by the members of the project, thanks to these two scientific manifestations organized at Cluj-Napoca and Turda.

Apart from these two scientific activities organized within the project, the dissemination of the research results has also materialized through a series of publications in journals and specialized volumes, as well as through communications at national and international scientific conferences. Two colloquiums have been organized, one member of the team participated in the organization of an international colloquium, one member participated in the editing of a volume, seven chapters were published in books, six articles in international research volumes, two articles in national research volumes, three articles in international periodicals and eight articles in national periodicals. The team members participated and gave presentations at twelve international scientific conferences and eight national colloquiums.
