Abstract: Vojtěch Ondrouch (1891-1963), a Czech historian of antiquity, an archaeologist, and
a numismatist, graduated from the Olomouc Theological Faculty (ThDr.), History at the Faculty of
Arts of Charles University in Prague, and the Faculty of Arts of Comenius University in Bratislava
(PhDr.). His research and publications were devoted to the history of antiquity and archaeology of
the Central Danube region, focusing on the Roman settlement of the first to the fourth centuries.
After working at several secondary schools in Slovakia, he completed his habilitation in 1934 at
the Faculty of Arts of Comenius University in Bratislava in the history of antiquity. He had to leave
Comenius University in 1950 for political reasons, but returned in 1955. From 1950-1955, he worked
at the Slovak Museum as a curator and at the Slovak Academy of Sciences. He retired from the
Faculty of Arts of Charles University in 1959. From 1927-1928, he established contacts with the
leadership of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church with the aim of serving as a teacher at the prepared
divinity faculty of this church. Finally, in 1928, he decided to find his position by working at the
Faculty of Arts of Charles University in Bratislava.
