Given the growing relevance, at national and international levels, of restoration and conservation interventions on existing buildings, the Universities have developed degree courses with specific addresses in “Conservation of Architectural and Environmental Heritage”. The students that attend this course become a graduate with specific, extensive, and updated skills in the field of knowledge, protection, conservation, reuse, and enhancement of architectural and environmental heritage. The complexity of the intervention is faced through the contribution of the various disciplines that contribute to the training of the architect, at the same time they studied modern instruments and tools for collecting and managing data, from on-field survey to sharing projects and ideas. The goal is to learn to manage, in its entirety, the project and the range of possible interventions with deep conservative sensitivity, with skills ranging from maintenance to restoration and redevelopment, both in the dimension of the single building and at the urban and landscape scale.
<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Over the centuries, the Roman Empire enlarge and restrict its borders, as a consequence of many factors, like different emperor’s policies, wars and conquests.</p><p>In a general view, we can identify them and we can consider the <i>Danubian Limes</i> as one of the most important one.</p><p>This <i>Limes</i> was mostly characterized by the fact that it was corresponded with the path of the Danube river, from Germany till the Black Sea.</p><p>Those lands, through centuries, were always threaten by the risk of barbarians’ incursions and this is the reason why the <i>Danubian Limes</i> had always been considered as a fragile border.</p><p>During the sixth century, in the midst Byzantine Era, Justinian the I was the first emperor able to consider the problem of the military protection not even “site by site”. He felt the need of an (absolutely modern) idea of considering the <i>limes</i> as a network of sites, who need each other to guarantee a strong and efficient result.</p><p>Speaking about the architectonical choices, the system of military camps and fortress starts to change its identity, becoming cities with specific relations.</p><p>Focusing on the case study of Serbia, the aim of the work is to map the specific location of each archaeological site, trying to use this network as an index of places. The research would like to highlight the important value of those sites as Cultural Heritage, considering the necessity of their preservation and valorization as historical evidence in a new European and common scenario.</p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
