After a brief exposition of the simplest class of affine theories of gravity in multidimensional space-times with symmetric connections, we consider the spherical and cylindrical reductions of these theories to two-dimensional dilaton-vecton gravity (DVG) field theories. The distinctive feature of these theories is the presence of a massive/tachyonic vector field (vecton) with essentially nonlinear coupling to the dilaton gravity. In the massless limit, the classical DVG theory can be exactly solved for a rather general coupling depending only on the field tensor and the dilaton. We show that the vecton field can be consistently replaced by a new effectively massive scalar field (scalaron) with an unusual coupling to dilaton gravity (DSG). Then we concentrate on considering the DVG models derived by reductions of D=3 and D=4 affine theories. In particular, we introduce the most general cylindrical reductions that are often ignored. The main subject of our study is the static solutions with horizons. We formulate the general conditions for the existence of the regular horizons and find the solutions of the static DVG/DSG near the horizons in the form of locally convergent power - series expansion. For an arbitrary regular horizon, we find a local generalization of the Szekeres - Kruskal coordinates. Finally, we consider one-dimensional integrable and nonintegrable DSG theories with one scalar. We analyze simplest models having three or two integrals of motion, respectively, and introduce the idea of a `topological portrait' giving a unified qualitative description of static and cosmological solutions of some simple DSG models.
