Roman Danube Roads and Limes

The National Museum of the History of Transylvania team conducted a series of field trips, both at home and abroad, to identify preserved Roman road sectors and identify as many Roman roads sectors that meet the conditions for valorisation in the ISTER project.

The first ISTER scientific publication shaped by the results of non-invasive techniques such as aerial photography, LIDAR scanning, and magnetometry again demonstrates the effectiveness of these methods in modern archaeology.

It aims to allow and empower partners, public authorities, and other interested parties to evaluate successful European models' current conditions and performance.
