In his paper the author deals with the latest period of Roman Pannonia
and the problem of the survival of the provincial population. In the study,
the author examined all kind of written and epigraphic combining with the archaeological
evidence that led the author to the conclusion that provincial Roman population
in Northern Pannonia, the modern Hungarian Transdanubia could hardly survive the
Hunnic rule. The surprising rich material culture of the Keszthely culture
has nothing do with the original Pannonians. The later, mainly Greek epigraphic
data are (their list can be found in the Appendix) very sporadic, and they
were brought to the Carpathian Basin as import or booties.
