guy Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) An interesting find at a Roman military base near the modern city of Svishtov, Bulgaria on the Danube border. Quote “Novae was one of the legionary fortresses that formed the limes Moesiae along the Danube in northern Bulgaria. The fortress served as a base for campaigns against Barbarian tribes during Trajan’s Dacian Wars, and the Maurice’s Balkan campaigns. Excavations were conducted by the University of Warsaw where the researchers focused on the so-called Centurion House. The structure was the villa of a high-status military officer or Roman official, containing a spacious courtyard with a pool, porticos, a bath complex, and numerous rooms heated by a 40m long hypocaust system. Within the structure archaeologists discovered a dozen or so cookware, consisting of pots with and without lids, bowls of various sizes, ceramic mugs, and a type of roasting pan possibly used for baking bread.” This is a map of some of the Roman fortresses in Bulgaria. The Roman fortress of Novae is on the Danube near the modern city of Svishtov. https://www.heritagedaily.com/2021/10/roman-cookware-discovered-in-the-centurion-house/141669?amp Edited February 2 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
