Investigations in the Late Roman annex of Novae (Bulgaria)

In 2016 we started new project in the area situated to the east of the legionary fortress. In the Early Roman period this place was inhabited by civil followers of the legionaries (tradesman, craftsmen, families of soldiers, servicemen and sutlers). Most probably in the end of the 3rd century the entire area was fortified and included into the fortress which became a civil town. So far, only defensive walls were regularly excavated, hence the shape and function of internal buildings remain a mystery. We hope to find here remains of civil settlement of the camp followers (canabae legionis) and late Roman district. Detailed non-intrusive investigations on a broader area were carried out prior the excavations. More you can find HERE and the website of the non-intrusive surveys project you will find HERE.

Fortification of the camp excavations

Since 2006 we have excavated and documented the remains of fortifications of the legionary fortress at Novae. Our works are focused on stratigraphy and proper documentation, as well as geodetical measurements which are collected in the database for further analyses. More you will find HERE
