Dacia régiség- és felirattani irodalmához

Published in 1880 by the esteemed Franklin Társulat in Budapest, this work represents a significant contribution to the study of Roman Dacia. Károly Torma, a prominent Hungarian archaeologist and historian, authored the text as a formal bibliographical index intended to organize and consolidate the growing body of classical scholarship regarding the Danubian provinces. It served as a vital reference tool for scholars of the late nineteenth century who were tasked with interpreting the complex archaeological evidence emerging from the former Roman territories.

The volume reflects the rigorous intellectual climate of the Austro-Hungarian academic sphere, where classical philology and local history were increasingly synthesized to foster a deeper understanding of regional identity. Torma’s design of the work is characterized by the methodical, encyclopedic approach typical of the era’s archival research. Upon its release, it was regarded by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and international peers as an essential resource for the systematization of epigraphic and antiquarian records, solidifying its place in the history of Romanian and Hungarian classical studies.
