Painted dedication to Genius and a relief depicting aquila from a sanctuary in Sopianae

In the locality of Sopianae, Pannonia Inferior, at the east corner of the settlement, there was a presumably customs station built at the end of the 2nd century which existed till 258–260 AD. From one of the rooms of the building excavated on Kossuth Square, Pécs, a fresco depicting a Genius, an inscription belonging to it, two pedestals – probably bases for statues – and a statue of an eagle came to light. Based on the assemblage the room may have been the sanctuary (sacellum) of the official building. The rare but formal telonium or teloneum expression may have been used for this customs station which, as such, belonged to the organization of the Publicum portorium Illyrici. The only surviving inscription may have been dedicated to the genius of the employees or the armed guards of the customs station: Genio | cu(stodiarum?) tel(onei?). On the pedestal bases probably emperor statues were situated. On the eastern wall of the west–east oriented room, based on its own pedestal and generally because of its quality, there was the relief of an eagle placed in a niche personalizing Iuppiter and the imperial power. In this case the eagle can be taken as a state-imperial symbol found in its own context and thus belonged to the rare Roman Age relics of the administration. The sanctuary must basically serve the official imperial cult

Introduction to the Green Belt of Auroville: A Detailed Description on How its Actual Practices Contribute to the UN SDGs

The South-Indian city of Auroville was founded in 1968 with the ambitious plan to become an utopist city for 50,000 habitants. The once heavily eroded land was transformed to a lush green area thanks to the past decades of landscape restoration work. The city aims to create a new type of human habitat where the residents live in harmony and close relation with nature. As part of its master plan a 2.5 km wide Green Belt is envisioned around the city zone that would contain organic farms and restored forest that provides timber and refilled underground water resources. The Green Belt is not only home to various projects of education and nature conservation but also an ecological system that already proved to locally reduce the severe effects of climate change. The original master plan was designed by Roger Anger a French architect. While most of the development within Auroville is based on this original plan visiting researchers and experts warn that present social and spatial reality shows a very different scene. The nationally and internationally praised city faces serious threats. The growing real estate business, hotel developments, encroachment of lands and a planned highway in the Green Belt of Auroville are endangering the restored ecosystem. Presently there are less than 3,000 Aurovilians, people of 50 countries, who are committed to live in Auroville and work for the city the earth needs . In the same time due to the above mentioned dynamics already more than 25,000 people live within the planned area of Auroville, (over)using its ecological services. The paper will describe the past and present development of Auroville with focus on the Green Belt. Based on the writers\u27 personal experience and knowledge, collected during her years of living and working in Auroville, it will also attempt to describe the future scenarios. The role and significance of the Green Belt will be addressed through assessing its performance on the UN Sustainable Development Goals

Detecting invasive woody increment in agricultural areas with Earth Observation technology

In the continental climate regions of the EU, one of the largest environmental and conversational problems is caused by the spread of invasive plant species, especially in agriculturally abandoned regions. Several species of the rapidly spreading and to the native vegetation supplanter plant can be a cause of ecologic and health risk. Some species change the physical structure and chemical composition of the soil, affect the microclimate, thereby contributing to climate change processes. Summing up, invasive species affect agricultural landscapes significantly. The common feature of the belonging species is that they spread rapidly and develop a significant amount of biomass in a short time. In the course of our research we worked out a remote sensing and GIS method, which localize efficiently the infected areas, and we utilized this method in the Northern Transdanubia, to extract the information of woody increment in agricultural regions</jats:p
