Prohászka Péter: Rómer Flóris és Brigetio emlékeinek kutatása
ARRABONA 2013. 51. TANULMÁNYOK FLÓRIS RÓMER AND THE RESEARCH OF BRIGETIO The beginning of the excavation of the Roman Age town and legion camp Brigetio hidden under the present-day Komárom-Ószőny - like the initial research of so many other archaeological period and site - is also connected to Flóris Römer. From 1859 on he repeatedly returned to the site to collect and draw the unearthed finds and survey the Roman ruins, which notes can be found in his travel-records. His papers and writings were based on these travel-records. The first descriptions of the Roman finds at Brigetio were published in the Győri Közlöny bulletin and in his Bakony book. These publications led the Archaeological Committee to invite him to make a report about the condition of the finds of Ószőny. After his move to Pest he kept on returning to Ószőny-Brigetio in 1862,1865,1866,1868,1871 and 1874. His survey of the fortifications of the legion camp in 1862 was published in the Archaeologiai Közlöny bulletin. His repeated efforts to preserve and document the Roman relics were realised only in 1874, when due to his support, Károly Kosztka state engineer of Komárom was commissioned to supervise the earthworks, document and save the finds. However, after Rómer's move to Nagyvárad and Kosztka's leave of Komárom this initiative was forgotten, and more than a decade had passed before the newly created archaeological association of Komárom kept an eye and save the relics of Brigetio.
