Autorul, decedat în urmă cu câţiva ani, a fost membru al Academiei Maghiare, şef de sector la Institutul de Istorie al aceleiaşi academii, profesor consultant la câteva universităţi din ţara vecină. La comanda unei edituri engleze, a redactat acest volum. La scurt timp, a fost publicat, în maghiară, iar acum se află în pregătire, a doua ediţie engleză. Este prima sinteză de acest tip, foarte modernă şi extrem de „rece”, din punct de vedere naţional, care se scrie după cel de-al Doilea Război Mondial. Istoriografia românească nu deţine încă o traducere de istorie a regatului medieval maghiar, cu toate că interesul pentru această istorie este superlativ, atât prin implicările din Transilvania, cât şi peste munţi, în Ţara Românească şi Moldova. Traducerea face oficiul de a transfera o întreagă terminologie instituţională care nu are sau are echivalări ambigue şi incorecte. Îngrijitorii de ediţie au produs o introducere biografică şi o apreciere asupra realizării, din punct de vedere al interesului românesc.

„The frontiers of the Roman Empire, over 5000 km long, stretch from the Atlantic coast of Scotland, along the Rhine and the Danube, also enclose the Banat region and Transylvania, then going down along the Oriental Carpathians to the Black Sea; from the southern coast of the Black Sea they continue towards the Near East until the Red Sea; then, in North Africa, they line the edge of the Sahara desert until the Atlantic coast of Morocco. Over this entire area, visible traces of fortifications, roads and settlements are still preserved, but numerous monuments still lay hidden underneath the earth. Despite the fact that the Roman frontiers crossed regions with different relief and climate, they constitute a whole in that they were designed to protect Roman territories. The research of these monuments and the preservation policy regarding them was and is unequal in the various presentday states on whose territory traces of the Roman frontier are to be found. Consequently, in the ‘80s of the 20th century, the idea of globally protecting the Roman frontiers, viewed as a unitary monument, was met. In 1987, Hadrian’s Wall in United Kingdom was declared a UNESCO monument. It was followed in 2005 by the German-Raetian sector, on which occasion the UNESCO committee decided to set up the ‘Frontiers of the Roman Empire’ site. (...)

This project through its complexity generated an interdisciplinary approach of the proposed subject stimulating such future attempts in the archaeological research field. By using the latest technical methods of non-destructive investigation the project did not damage the stratigraphy of the archaeological site obtaining instead a high amount of data otherwise time consuming judging from the archaeological excavations perspective contributing also to the preservation of the cultural heritage.” - Introduction

“Starting with the early 1970s Fântânele (Bistrița-Năsăud County) has been a well-known site in the archaeological literature referring to the Migration Period and Early Middle Ages in Transylvania. Although the excavations carried out on the hill called Dealul Popii or Dâmbul Popii by the research team lead by Ion Horaţiu Crişan have never been published exhaustively, the site was included in several synthesis works on the topic of the archaeological material from Transylvania belonging to the Migration Period, respectively to the 6th–7th centuries. The main goal of the present volume is to fill this gap by publishing all the known data regarding the mentioned discoveries based on the original documentation (written and drawn record) on one hand, and on the grave-goods identified with a few exceptions in the Institute of Archaeology and Art History, Cluj-Napoca, on the other hand.” (Foreword)
