Late Roman Pottery from Viminacium-thermae

The excavation of 2004

Abstract

Previous excavations in Viminacium took place in the area of the necropolis and were mostly protective in their character. excavations of the thermae at thermae, that were located some 200 m west of the castrum, were also carried out on several occasions. at first, in the 1970s, a conha was discovered, which helped to identify the building. on this occasion, parts of wall frescos were detected among the rubble, which indicated a luxurious furnishing of the building. During the excavation, several phases of utilization were detected, from the late 2nd to the late 4th century. these phases were separated by layers of burned remains, which were also visible in the profile outside the wall of the conha. excavations at thermae were continued after 30 years in 2004. We could not explore the building in all detail, but most of it could be uncovered: five conhas as well as several rooms.
