Abstract
The evaluation of the stone material permitted us to identify the origin of the stones (amphibole-biotite andesites and agglomerates from Visegrád Mts) and we differentiated the 2nd century upbuilt wall sectors to the 4th century ones. The composition and the technology of the mortar differ, too. The statistical distribution of the loosse rock fragments shows, that they resulted by violent destruction of the walls and the other stone objects of the Roman site during the Barbar invasions of the end of 4th century A.D.
