„Această carte reprezintă o variantă a lucrării mele de doctorat, «Principia în castrele de legiune (sec. I-III p.Chr.)», susținută în 2008 la Universitatea Babeş-Bolyai din Cluj- Napoca. Deoarece partea cea mai importantă tratează clădirea comandamentului de la Berzobis, cercetată de mine, titlul a fost modificat, fiind, astfel, scoasă în evidență noutatea cercetării arheologice de aici. Subiectul tezei mi-a fost propus de către acad. prof. univ. dr. Dumitru Protase în 2001, în contextul resuscitării interesului privind studierea sitului arheologic de epocă romană din Berzovia (jud. Caraș-Severin). În anul 1998, Muzeul Banatului Timișoara (actualmente Muzeul Național al Banatului – MNB), prin prof. dr. Florin Drașovean (director), și Muzeul Banatului Montan Reșița (prin director prof. dr. Dumitru Țeicu) au demarat un proiect de colaborare pentru cercetarea acestui castru de legiune din Banat. Florin Medeleț, cercetător atunci în cadrul Institutului Român de Tracologie – Filiala Banat, și-a asumat răspunderea științifică a șantierului arheologic, membri ai colectivului fiind Ovidiu Bozu (Muzeul Banatului Montan) și Al. Flutur (Muzeul Banatului Timișoara). Ultima campanie de săpături arheologice în principia de la Berzobis s-a desfășurat în 2005.” (din „Cuvânt-înainte”)

"This book is a version of my doctoral thesis, «The Principia in legionary fortresses (the 1st–3rd century AD», defended in 2008 with the Babeş-Bolyai University of Cluj-Napoca. Since the most important part discusses the headquarters buildings from Berzobis, which I investigated, the title was changed, thus highlighting the novelty of the research performed there. The subject of my thesis was suggested by Professor Academician Dumitru Protase in 2001 within the context of the revived interest for the study of the Roman date archaeological site of Berzovia (Caraș- Severin county). In 1998, the Museum of Banat in Timișoara (currently the National Museum of Banat – NMB), by Professor Florin Drașovean (manager), and the Museum of the Highland Banat in Reșița (manager: Professor Dumitru Țeicu) initiated a cooperation project for the research of this legionary fortress from the Banat. Florin Medeleț, then fellow with the Romanian Institute of Thracology – the Banat Branch, undertook the scientific responsibility of the archaeological excavation site, the team members including Ovidiu Bozu (Museum of the Highland Banat) and Al. Flutur (Museum of Banat in Timișoara). The last archaeological campaign carried out in the principia of Berzobis occurred in 2005." (Excerpt from the foreword)
