Abstract

The paper aims to deliver a brief outline of the architectural development and discerned types of architecture of both Germanic and Roman origin on the territories north to the middle Danube. The four centuries of the local development was somehow disturbed during the Marcomannic wars. This large-scale conflict resulted in the Roman military occupation of the neighboring regions (Moravia, South-western Slovakia and Lower Austria). The main attention of the paper is given to the development in Moravia, while the other regions have their specific aspects and some of the examples of the Roman architecture on the barbarian territories also differ in chronological context. One of the most significant region containing both Germanic and Roman architecture monuments is located along the middle course of the river Thaya, specifically in the Mušov region and its vicinity. There can be found the only terrain evidences of the Roman architecture in the Czech Republic.
