The Roman fort at Iža was a strategic advanced site of the Limes Romanus/Ripa Pannonica defence system opposite Brigetio, on the northern bank of the Danube. So far there have been no targeted researches about the direct documents concerning supply and communication modes used in this site (in the context of the adjacent defence system). Historical records and early archaeological researches described walled structures with various interpretations (cloaca, pier). According to their position with regard to river course, it is possible to assume that such structures were used for bank defence purposes or as constructions of an independent port. In order to find an answer to this question, the authors of this paper have exploited both traditional and innovative methods (LIDAR, various types of sonars).

The essay under discussion covers various military uses of sound and acoustics during the Great War. Taking from the important book Sonic Warfare by Steve Goodman, the author describes the importance of sound communication during the war as well as various acoustical research undertaken in order to detect enemies on new fronts (aeroplanes, submarines, miners). He traces broader cultural consequences of the importance of acoustics during the Great War and stresses its meaning for the cultural history of sound, as it was the time of creation of the modern military-industrial-scientific complex.
