201 getragen wurden, können die Votivplatten als Erzeugnisse der in Pannonién angesiedelten östlichen Volksgruppen angesehen werden. Es ist anzunehmen, dass die Votivbilder den Gebrauch der Paradepanzer überlebten. Es kann auch die Frage gestellt werden, warum eben in Pannonién die Mehrzahl dieser Gegenstände zu finden sind, beziehungsweise ihr Verbreitungsgebiet das mittlere Donaugebiet ist. Als Zentren, oder namhafte Fundorte sind besonders drei Städte in Pannonién zu nennen : Carnuntum, Brigetio und Aquincum. Die Vexillationen der Legionen aller dieser drei Lager nahmen an Feldzügen im Orient teil und in diesen Städten siedelten sich in der zweiten Hälfte des zweiten Jahrhunderts auch aus dem Osten stammende Volkselemente an. Der Themenkreis der Votivplatten steht ausschliesslich mit orientalischen Kulten in Zusammenhang. Die Paradepanzer, die starke hellenistische Traditionen aufweisen, mögen ebenfalls orientalischen Ursprungs sein. Silver Bust ofTrebonianus Gallus from Brigetio. In 1942 in the vicinity of the village of Szőny, east of the legionary camp of Brigetio, on the right side of the limes (which roughly agrees with the highway of today from Budapest to Vienna) on a larger area the level of the ground was lowered. On the smooth surface rectangular spots appeared in four rows, symmetrically far from one another. This four-rowed system of spots was the trace of a palisade-camp. In the outer row, near to one of the timber-traces, in a smaller irregular pit Roman silver finds were discovered including a silver pedestal of statue, a silver gilt mount, a fragment of a silver statue, and at last a bust made of silver plate. This bust embossed and folded from a thin silver plate came to light squashed, bent fourfold and crumpled in some places. Concerning the measurements of the silver bust attention must be drawn to the fact that through the restoration the bust got larger in dimension and expanded in some places. At present its height is 26'3 cm, and its width 28 cm. It represents a man in full face. The bust is considerably completed with plaster in its present state. The silver portrait of Brigetio is not unique in the archaeological literature. Recently the portrait of Lucius Verus came to light at Marengo together with other treasures (Piemonte, Italy). In 1939 a second one was discovered in a Roman gutter at Avenches (Aventicum, Switzerland), the portrait of Marcus Aurelius made of gold plate. To these two we can group the head of Antoninus Pius which is in the Thorwaldsen Museum in Copenhagen and is not yet published in details. To our group belongs also a herm made of silver plate which perhaps represents Juppiter Dolichenus. This bust was found near the Little Saint Bernard pass and at present it is preserved in the Museum of Aosta. The busts in our group are connected by their material and technique. All five enumerated portraits are made of precious metal and concerning their technique they all are made of plate and were embossed by hammering without any soldering. Besides the essential similarities the portrait of Brigetio still differs remarkably from the other busts in the artistic conception. On the head of the bust, of Brigetio the hair and the beard are only illustrated in mass and they are only marked in details by little lines. Our bust differs from the other portraits made of plate not
