Abstract

Archaeological excavations and inscriptions discovered on site point towards the existence of an Early Imperial Period urban settlement under the area of the present-day village Környe (Komárom-Esztergom County), established in the civitas Azaliorum region, most probably on the territory of the Mogiones tribe. On some of the inscriptions possibly related to the name of the Early Imperial Era settlement, unearthed on site and in the immediate neighbourhood, a striking abbreviation, MOG appears. According to the Inotapuszta (Bakonycsernye) diploma and a Roman urban laterculus, there stood in Pannonia an urban settlement known by the name of Mogionibus as well. The results of the excavations conducted in Környe in the period 1939–2016, local inscriptions and a newly published milestone discovered in Tata (Komárom-Esztergom County) are all witnesses to the existence of a municipium named rather Mogionibus such as Mogionensium on the territory of the present village of Környe. The municipium existed between the reigns of Hadrian and Gallienus. Before 214, it belonged to the urban network of Pannonia Superior, while after 214, to that of Pannonia Inferior.

Introduction

Archaeological excavations and inscriptions discovered on site point towards the existence of an Early Imperial Period urban settlement under the area of the present-day village Környe (Komárom-Esztergom County), established in the civitas Azaliorum region, most probably on the territory of the Mogiones tribe. During the Early Imperial Period, after the division of Pannonia, but beginning with the year 107 at the latest, the territory belonged to Pannonia Superior until the year 214, and became part of Pannonia Inferior as of 214. During the Late Imperial Period, the territory belonged to Valeria ripensis. An inner military fortress was built above the ruins of the urb destroyed during the third century, most probably referred to as Vincentia. 1

There is a detailed inventory of rich Roman era legacy, including buildings, roads, inscriptional stone monuments, vessels, ceramics, coins, of the ditch surrounding the Roman settlement and probable aqueducts authored by Mátyás Bél during the first third of the 18th century. 2 In an archaeological sense, between the years 1939 and 2016, two road surfaces, a series of stone-based buildings, a great number of varied, imported and locally manufactured ceramic objects, pottery furnaces, inscriptions and two impressed bricks alluding to a possible brick manufacture 3 were discovered and made public. On-site excavations were conducted in the area by Aladár Radnóti (HNM, 1939–), András Mócsy (HNM, 1953–) and Ádám Szabó (HNM, 2002–). Local sepulchral monuments of the era are limited at present to a few excavated tombs and sarcophagi, 4 and to second century chariot burials. 5 Even without further source data, the sum of archaeological phenomena points to the existence of a complex and considerately large civilian settlement. 6

Inscriptions

On some of the inscriptions possibly related to the name of the Early Imperial Era settlement, unearthed on site and in the immediate neighbourhood, a striking abbreviation, MOG appears. Previously, the literature read these in the context of the already known Balaton Uplands settlement Mogetianae. 7 Nevertheless, according to the Inotapuszta (Bakonycsernye) diploma and a Roman urban laterculus, there stood in Pannonia an urban settlement known by the name of Mogionibus as well. The military diploma was issued for C(aius) Iul(ius) Aelia (tribu) Passar, Mogionibus. 8 The same person is featured on the laterculus, along other persons from Pannonia. 9 The laterculus provides the origin as Mog., earlier interpreted as Mog(etianae). Still, under the light of the diploma, the abbreviation of the settlement name on the inscribed tile will also morph into Mog(ionibus). 10 The origin of the donor features on the diploma in its form inflected from the noun Mogio (Sg.) / Mogiones (Pl.), which, in case of this document type, can only be a town name. The settlement name might also be Mogio 11 or Mogionensium, but the formal city name, with reference to the urban rank and designating the group of all the inhabitants of the settlement, along with all the declinational possibilities inherent in the phrase Mogio /Mogiones, conceived as a formal variant of the settlement name suggest the variant Mogionibus in any context. Several such like settlement names are known in the territory controlled by the Roman Empire, 12 specifically in Pannonia there is the toponym of the not far removed Osonibus. 13 The results of the excavations conducted in Környe in the period 1939–2016, local inscriptions and a newly published milestone discovered in Tata (Komárom-Esztergom County) are all witnesses to the existence of a municipium named Mogionibus on the territory of the present village of Környe. 14

Known elements of urban administration in local and neighbouring inscriptions:

Ordo (decurionum):

  1. ordo Mogionibus, A.D. 220–222, 15

  2. ordo Mogionibus, A.D. 245. 16

Decurio:

  1. T. Aelius Maximus decurio municipi, A.D. second half of second century, 17

  2. C. Cassius Karinus decurio municipi, A.D. second century, 18

  3. Suriacus Secundinus decurio municipi, A.D. first half of third century, 19

  4. Uncertain: L. Sept(imius) Fuscinus dec(urio) mun(icipi) A.D. first quarter of third century. 20

Quaestor:

  1. T. Aelius Candidus quaestor(io) municipi, A.D. second half of second century. 21

Quattuorvir:

  1. C. Cassius Karinus IIIIvir, A.D. second century (see Nr. 4),

  2. Suriacus Secundinus quattuorvir(us), A.D. first half of third century (see No. 5).

[- - -?]

  1. [? - - - municipi] Mogionibus, A.D. second half of second century (see No. 7).

Flamen

  1. C. Cassius Karinus flamen, A.D. second century (see No. 4).

Tribus

  1. P(ublius) Ael(ius) P(ubli) f(ilius) Serg(ia tribu) Mog(ionibus) Iustinus, A.D. second century, 22

  2. C(aius) Iulius C(ai) fil(ius) Ael(ia tribu) Passar Mogionibus, A.D. 206. 23

Caput viae

  1. A Mog[ionibus], A.D. second century. 24

The settlement had a quattuorviral system of administration (No. 8–9). This is why, based on the abbreviation Mog., the inscriptions presented above cannot come into account in relation to the duumvirally administrated Mogetiana abbreviated most certainly as Moget.- or Moge.-, 25 and in one case, far removed from Környe, as M.- and they can also be counted out in relation to the even more remote Mursella. 26

Municipium Mogionibus could have most likely be founded according to a quattuorviral constitution at earliest by Hadrian (117–138) in the Imperial Era. 27 Based on the quoted inscriptions referring to the founding of the settlement and also on locally significant texts containing tribus designations (Sergia and Aelia) made by Hadrian, it is certain that he had founded the settlement. This town was most probably founded simultaneously with the founding of other urbs by Hadrian in Pannonia, such as Aquincum, and also the municipalities of Carnuntum and the colony of Mursa. This is to say that municipium Mogionibus came into being as part of Hadrian Pannonian urbanization policy. The tribus and pseudotribus of the town, and its body of decuriones, which defined itself as ordo in the third century, are known, three decuriones, a quaestor, two quattuorviri and a flamen are known. Judging from the function of quaestor, the town must have had a separate aedilis office, nevertheless there are no known inscriptions referring to that at present. In their totality, the related inscriptions comprise almost all the characteristics of a formal municipal administration. By evidence of the Vespasianus coin discovered in 2005 (Hegyalja Street 9), the settlement already existed in the last third of the first century, most probably with indigenous inhabitants, even though based on the Tiberius coin 28 recorded in the region by Mátyás Bél and also on the gentilicium of Passar Iulius, Romans might have already been present a bit earlier in the region, during the age of Roman occupation, anyway. A late first century or early second century inscription of specific text is known in the territory, which suggests Romanization. 29 Similarly, the furnace in Környe can be linked to the early second century Aquincum pottery workshop of pottery master Resatus. 30 Several inscriptions discovered on site and in the close neighbourhood document citizens of the settlement and their everyday life. 31 The territory of Mogionibus municipium bordered on a military area (prata) northward, on the territory of Aquincum eastward, on the territory of Mogetiana southward, and beginning with the Severan era, eastward it most probably bordered on the territory of Brigetio. A 2007 excavation (conducted in the courtyard of the Town Hall, Alkotmány Street no. 2–4) revealed, under the late Roman Age planar strata, by the northern edge of the built Roman road, a treasure find of silver denarii placed in a broken Terra sigillata bowl. The final imprint of these coins was a mint bright Diva Mariniana denarius (RIC 6), issued between the years 253–260. According to this, the settlement perished in 260 the latest. Later than this year, there are no known Early Imperial Era archaeological finds recorded in the territory. Similar to most of the settlements in Pannonia Inferior, the one discussed here was most probably destroyed by the 258–260 military campaigns of the peoples of the neighbouring Barbaricum. 32 The municipium existed between the reigns of Hadrian and Gallienus. Before 214, it belonged to the urban network of Pannonia Superior, while after 214, to that of Pannonia Inferior.

Kovács and Lőrincz (2010) 284, Nr. 9 = AE 2010, 1258, Szabó (2018) 130–201, Kieg2#: Környe / Tagyospuszta (secondarily built into a Late Imperial Era tomb): D(is) M(anibus) | P(ublio) Ael(io) P(ubli) f(ilio) | Serg(ia tribu) Mog(ionibus) | Iustino | vet(erano) leg(ionis) XIIII G(eminae) | Valeria Cy | rilla her(es) | marit(o) pient(issimo) | vi<x=CS>it an(nos) L.

Based on the site situated in the immediate vicinity of Környe, to the northüwest from the village, but still within the administrative borders of the settlement, it is certain that Mog(ionibus) is the extension of the town name in line 3, while the earlier Mog(etiana) recommendation is in line with available data at the time of publication.
