About the Book

English summary: The Roman fort of Gheriat el-Garbia is located 280 km south of Tripoli in the pre-desert, above an oasis, on the central route to the land of the Garamantes. Along with Bu Ngem and Ghadames, it is the largest of the three new vexilliation forts of the limes Tripolitanus, advanced far to the south under emperor Septimius Severus. At the latest by autumn AD 201 its defences were finished by a detachment of legio III Augusta from Lambaesis. Since the English surveys (1953, 1981), the fort with its spectacularly well-preserved main gate has provided a valid basis for architectural reconstructions of 3rd century forts. Within the framework of the interdisciplinary project of the Archaeology of the Roman Provinces at the University of Munich, funded by the Excellence Initiative, two campaigns each year were conducted in 2009 and 2010. The focus was laid on surveys and excavations within the fort, which was overbuilt by a Berber village (gates, headquarters building, barracks), and in one of the sanctuaries. In addition to scientific investigation methods (geodesy, geophysics, archaeometry, radiocarbon analyses), terrestrial 3D laser scanning was used. The ancient place-name Myd(---) is recorded on a pedestal for a statue. Surprisingly, in addition to the occupation of the fort until AD 275/280, there was a late antique reoccupation: from AD 390/400 until the middle of the 5th century, a unit of limitanei, the milites munifices, was garrisoned in the castra Madensia of the Notitia Dignitatum Occ. XXXI 30. The first volume presents the history of research in the Tripolitanian frontier zone in north-western Libya and southern Tunisia from 1819 to 1996, as well as the location of Gheriat el-Garbia. This is followed by the geodetic recording of the topography of the fort and temple plateau based on radar data from the German earth observation satellite TerraSar-X. The focus is on the archaeological surveys: numerous architectural elements from the interior area of the fort result in seven orders of columns, which suggest a sophisticated architectural decoration of the central buildings of the fort. The extensive material from the ceramic survey provides information on the supply of the garrison with African red slip ware and cooking wares as well as with wine, olive oil and fish preserves transported in various types of amphorae. In addition, bronze small finds, coins and radiocarbon analyses are presented; the latter form the basis for dating the resto-ration of the fort between AD 390 and 425. German description: Das romische Kastell Gheriat el-Garbia liegt 280 km sudlich von Tripolis in der steppenartigen Halbwuste, oberhalb einer Oase, an der zentralen Route ins Land der Garamanten. Es ist - neben Bu Njem und Ghadames - das grosste der drei unter Kaiser Septimius Severus weit nach Suden vorgeschobenen neuen Vexillationskastelle des limes Tripolitanus. Spatestens im Herbst 201 n. Chr. wurde es von einer Abteilung der legio III Augusta aus Lambaesis fertig gestellt. Seit den englischen Surveys (1953, 1981) bietet das Kastell mit dem spektakular gut erhaltenen Haupttor eine valide Grundlage fur architektonische Rekonstruktionen von Kastellen des 3. Jahrhunderts.Im Rahmen des interdisziplinar ausgerichteten Projekts der Provinzialromischen Archaologie an der Universitat Munchen, gefordert von der Exzellenzinitiative, wurden 2009 und 2010 je zwei Kampagnen durchgefuhrt. Im Mittelpunkt standen Surveys und Ausgrabungen im von einem Berberdorf uberbauten Kastell (Tore, Stabsgebaude, Mannschaftsunterkunfte) und in einem der Heiligtumer. Neben naturwissenschaftlichen Untersuchungsmethoden (Geodasie, Geophysik, Archaometrie, 14C-Analysen) kam terrestrisches 3D-Laserscanning zum Einsatz. Uberraschend war neben der bis 275/280 erfolgten Nutzung des Kastells mit dem inschriftlich uberlieferten Ortsnamen Myd(---) eine spatantike Instandsetzung: Ab 390/400 wurde bis Mitte des 5. Jahrhunderts in den castra Madensia der Notitia Dignitatum Occ. XXXI 30 eine limitane Einheit, die milites munifices, stationiert.Im ersten Band werden die Forschungsgeschichte in der tripolitanischen Grenzzone im nordwestlichen Libyen und in Sudtunesien von 1819 bis 1996 sowie die Lage und Topographie von Gheriat el-Garbia dargestellt. Es folgen Beitrage zur geodatischen Erfassung der Topographie des Kastell- und des Tempelplateaus unter Verwendung von Radardaten des deutschen Erdbeobachtungssatelliten TerraSar-X. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die archaologischen Surveys: Zahlreiche Architekturglieder aus dem Kastellareal ergeben sieben Saulenordnungen, die auf eine anspruchsvolle architektonische Ausstattung der zentralen Gebaude des Kastells schliessen lassen. Das umfangreiche Material des Keramik-Surveys liefert wichtige Daten zur Versorgung der Garnison mit Fein- und Kochkeramik sowie mit in Amphoren transportiertem Wein, Olivenol und Fischkonserven. Zudem werden Metallkleinfunde, Munzen und Radiokarbonanalysen vorgelegt; letztere bilden die Basis fur die Datierung der Instandsetzungen des Kastells zwischen 390 und 425.
