The archaeological traces of the Roman-barbarian confrontations represent a specific group of information sources for understanding of complex aspects of the various interactions of the two profoundly distinctive worlds - Roman and barbarian. Despite the first evidences of the Roman presence come from more distant past, only during the last decades there has been a significant progress in available archaeological sources and data. Besides the distinguishing forms of military installations of more permanent nature (Mušov-Burgstall and Iža), the most significant testimony of the direct presence of the Roman military power throughout the Germanic settlement regions of the Middle Danube region is represented by temporary field camps. Presently there are positive evidence of 26 camps from 16 localities to the west and 21 camps from 7 localities to the east of the Little Carpathians. Except them, among the available sources of information also count indirect indices of probable interactions in form of the finds of the Roman military equipment and weaponry within the local Germanic context or as stray finds. According to the present state of research and ascertained archaeological and other relevant multidisciplinary data the most of the evidences can be associated with the historical period of the Marcomannic wars.
