After autopsy and cataloging, including description of the monuments first in Eastern and then in Western Transdanubia, a comprehensive cultural-historical evaluation of the early Christian monuments of the former provinces of Valeria and Pannonia Prima is planned. To this end, the individual monuments must be placed in a smaller (local) and larger context (through comparative examples in the other provinces). Furthermore, this bilateral project is not only intended to promote academic contacts between Vienna and Pécs, but above all to support young researchers. The ultimate goal is the publication of a contemporary monograph on early Christianity in Hungary, complete with color photographs.
