guy Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) A newly discovered Roman city in the northeast region of Aragon, Spain has been published. Quote Archaeologists from the University of Zaragoza in Spain have discovered a previously unknown Roman city with buildings of monumental proportions. The urban complex, which existed between the first and second centuries, had “buildings of immense sizes” as well as public facilities including baths, water supply, streets, and sewers. The researchers discovered two streets, the whispers of sidewalks, four rudimentary cement sewer outlets, one life-sized marble hand of a presumed public monument, and even the reception room of a thermal bath—complete with mosaics preserved by the collapsed sandstone ceiling. They did this by combining remote sensing techniques like georadar and aerial images with conventional methods. A black and white mosaic found at the site in 2021. It features two cupids riding seahorses and is decorated with shell and scallop designs. https://arkeonews.net/archaeologists-have-found-a-previously-unknown-roman-city-with-buildings-of-monumental-proportions-in-spains-aragon-region/ Edited July 17, 2022 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
