Due to the evidence of an auxiliary fort at Stein (St. Pantaleon-Erla), 6 km east of Lauriacum/Enns, the region ‘Circum Lauriacum’ has to be scientifically re-evaluated. Special attention must be paid to the dualism of Stein and Enns, as both settlements existed in parallel from the late 1st century to 180. The year 180 mark on the end of the fort and the associated extraordinary civil settlement of Stein and, at the same time, the latest possible time for the stationing of legio II Italica in Lauriacum, which subsequently experienced a rapid but temporally limited upswing. The two sites have different locational factors that need to be taken into account in the assessment. Lauriacum is better protected and simultaneously better connected to the intra-provincial supply network. Stein is aligned on the Aist Valley route leading towards the Vltava, which
must have been far more important than previously assumed.

Roman watchtowers were erected at strategic points
along the frontiers of the Roman Empire. Various
functions have been attributed to such towers. One of
these functions was the transmission of messages or
communications. These would have been relayed by
optical signals. It is therefore assumed that sight-lines
existed between watchtowers. This paper discusses
the extent to which the existence of such visual relationships
may have played a role in the location of
watchtowers, on the basis of a landscape archaeology
case study. The selected study area includes a section
of the Lower Austrian “Danube Limes” near Mautern,
where several burgi were discovered on the south
bank of the Danube River, west of the fort at Favianis.
Visual field evaluations based on a digital terrain
model (DTM) spatially analyze the visual relationship
between burgi, as well as between them and the fort,
in a Geographic Information System (GIS).

This thesis is about historical paths in a defined area of interest in the hinterland of Mautern/Favianis, Lower Austria. The study area is located in the north of the Dunkelsteinerwald region and has an extent of 52,8 km². Using an ALS-derived digital terrain model, all recognizable structures in the study area were documented and analyzed, in order to obtain information about their chronology and their continuity. Thematic data including archaeological sites and a variety of recent and historical maps (e.g. Österreichische Karte 1:50.000, Franzisco-Josephinische Landesaufnahme, Franziszeischer Kataster and Maria-Theresianisch-Josephinische Landesaufnahme) were also utilised. Form these map sources, the continuous use of historical routes was investigated, and from these processes of road networks were extrapolated. Furthermore, the known historical roads of the research area were put into context within the framework of archaeological data and historical sources. From the digital ...
