Roman-Barbarian contacts are a special phenomenon and enjoy a long tradition in various fields of archaeological research on the Roman Period in the Middle Danube region. One of the most interesting forms of these relations, which vary in type and intensity considerably, are traces of military confrontations dating into the period of the Marcomannic wars. Next to the known sites with evidence of Roman military presence in Mušov-Burgstall and Iža, our knowledge of spatial deployment, dynamics and structure of Roman military offensive forces on Germanic territory is primarily based on the research of the so-called temporary camps. During
the last decades, our state of knowledge in this field of research has improved considerably through the discovery of numerous new temporary camps of the Roman army as well as through the compilation of all available information on this research topic. It was the aim of an international research project, among other things, to determine the topographical location of the temporary camps, their chronological classification and period of use as exactly as possible. In a second step, an attempt was made to define their role within the overall geostrategic concept of the Roman offensive forces. At present, we register 16 localities within the Marcomannic settlement zone west of the Little Carpathians, where it has so far been possible to distinguish or reconstruct a total of 26 separate temporary
military camps or their phases. East of the Little Carpathians, in the settlement area of the Quades, we now know 6 sites with 20 identified fortifications. The purpose of the presented paper is to give a comprehensive overview of the current state of research.
