Banatica

Aims & Scope

It was in 1971, namely half a century ago whenBanaticascientific journal was for the first time published by the former History Museum of the Caraș-Severin county, nowadays The Museum of Highland Banat (since 1997). The time we are referred to was an open one for scientific research and many new or reactivated journals were published, and so an older tradition was picked up. By the means of those reviews, the scientific research performed by museums in Romania took an institutionalized shape since then. Some ofBanaticaconstant aspects during those more than 50 years are worthy of notice: its shape, logo, and name, with one issue a 2-3 years in 1971-2005, and annual issues since 2008, all of them proving its continuity and giving it respectability. The absence of a historiographic academic school in Timișoara motivated the museum of Reșița to come closer to Cluj historical school. So, the first issue ofBanaticain 1971 was initiated by Acad. Constantin Daicoviciu, and was published under his high scientific patronage. His article in the first number ofBanaticatried to draw on a program in what concerned the archaeological research in the Banat and the way the archaeologists had to follow it. He was accompanied then by the younger historians Costin Feneșan and Volker Wollmann from the Institute of History and Archaeology Cluj. The cooption of I. I. Russu, the great historian of Roman Antiquity, to the editorial committee, beginning with 1973, once with the second issue ofBanatica, confered the journal a certain scientific value and visibility within the landscape of historical publications in Romania. The editorial office, ensured by Volker Wollmann up to 1980, providedBanaticathe nedeed scientific standards. The editorial committee was ensured by Ilie Uzum, Ioan Popa, Vasile M. Zaberca, Marian Gumă, and Gheorghe Lazarovici up to 1989. A revival of the publishing activity of our museum, andBanaticaimplicitly, comes after 1990. Continuity of names, shape of the journal,
