„Némely ájtatosak, de a régészetben járatlanok, ezen faragványban a szent családot akarák tisztelni” Két római sírkő népi interpretációja Rómer Flóris útijegyzeteiben

Abstract

"Some are reverential, but inexperienced in archaeology however they want to honour the Holy Familyin this carving" Popular Interpretation of Two Roman Tombstones in Flóris Rómer's Travel NotesIn my study, I examine two Roman tomb steles based on the manuscript notebooks of archaeologistFlóris Rómer (1815-1889). From Rómer's note No. VII it turns out that the Lupa 3843 tombstone stoodin Ószőny in 1859, and in its carving the locals honoured the Holy Family (Fig. 1). According tothe archaeologist's notebook No. VIII (1860), the inhabitants of the settlement also recognized theHoly Family in a Roman tombstone on the border of Tarján (Fig. 2). The unpublished stone monumentstill stands in the same place today and is called St.Anne's picture in the vernacular.
