„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

V. Entretiens: Ioana Bot, What’s Left? A Discussion on the Remains of Writing – and the Remains of Living – with Two European Authors

„Autorul, de formație cleric, tinde să subsumeze caracterul național al artei religioase românești din Transilvania și din Principate caracterului universal al artei bisericești răsăritene, ceea ce, până la un punct, este perfect sustenabil. Remarcăm concluziile pertinente ale autorului, rezultate de pe urma unor analize și studii teoretice din bibliografia universală și românească, dar și ca rezultat al propriilor cercetări de teren. Adesea, aspecte rămase în suspensie sau neobservate de predecesori ajung să fie relevate pentru prima oară în această lucrare. În cadrul studiilor de caz, se emit pentru prima oară anumite ipoteze, se fac încadrări corecte, se îndreaptă anumite opinii mai vechi rămase fără suport. Remarcăm sobrietatea stilului lucrării, caracterul ei științific, bazat pe elemente de teologie, de arhitectură, de pictură, de istoria artelor, de istorie generală, fără divagații de prisos și fără aspecte sentimentale sau limbaj metaforic- artistic, care ar fi fost nepotrivite și ar fi impietat asupra valorii excursului. În finalul lucrării, autorul – ca mărturie că stăpânește de o manieră exemplară subiectul studiat – trasează și direcții de cercetare pentru viitor, prefigurând noi rezultate necesare pentru înțelegerea mai profundă a temei iconostasului transilvănean.” - Ioan Aurel Pop
