The Rural Landscape of the Frontier of Dacia Porolissensis. A Case Study: the Northern Sector – territorium Arcoba(da)rense – The Valley of River Someșul Mare

Summary/Abstract: The present study aims at re-evaluating the situation of the rural settlements located in the area of the northern frontier, with special focus on those distributed along the valley of River Someșul Mare. From an administrative perspective these settlements were included in the entity known as territorium Arcoba(da)rense,an entity that orbited around the ancient settlement of Arcoba(da)ra/Ilișua (Bistrița-Năsăud County), largely located behind the threefold line of the frontier and in the proximity of its elements. Thus, the study intends to discuss the northern frontier from the perspective of its rural landscape, mainly analyzing the manner in which the civilian areas were organized in this border area.
