Summary/Abstract: Roman forts can several times be dated only on the basis of the ground-plans of their gate-towers. This observation is true in the case of the forts in the Pannonian provinces as well. Here the earlier hypothesis that most of the Pannonian earth-timber castella were built into stone only after the Marcomannic wars on the basis of the gate-towers (projecting in the ratio 1/3:2/3 from the face of the fort wall) was confirmed by archaeological evidence in several places. In this paper we publish an earlier unknown gate type from Annamatia (Pannonia Inferior, Baracs) which was uncovered in the years 2000–2001.
