Die spätantike quadische Residenz in Cífer-Pác. Rekonstruktion der Bauentwicklung

Abstract

Late Antique Quadi Residence in Cífer-Pác. Reconstruction of Building Development in the 4 th c., a princely residence was built on the outskirts of the Germanic settlement in Cífer-Pác (SW Slovakia). It consists of a quadrangular enclosure with two stone and several wooden buildings. The residence was built in the spirit of Roman building traditions according to a carefully thought-out plan, using Roman building technologies and Roman building materials. It served the needs of the local Germanic chieftain and is an eloquent testimony to the peaceful Roman-Germanic relations at the end of Antiquity. The article summarizes the development of the residence with its three building phases and offers architectural reconstructions of its appearance.
