Summary (English)

  • The camp of Teregova, partially damaged by the Hideg River waters, measures about 120 × 100 m, as it must have been occupied by auxiliary troops of 500 men. The first excavations were conducted by N. Gudea, who performed the first survey in 1991. The following excavation campaigns were conducted in 2001 and 2002. The 2004 campaign was conducted to uncover other parts of the structure identified during the 2001-2002 excavations. During the earlier campaigns we identified a row of three subdivisions, each sized 4 × 3.5 m, of a building characterized as a cottage. In parallel to and to the north of this structure we uncovered a road perpendicular to via sagularis, made of gravel mixed up with brick fragments and reused tiles (59). However, most unusual seems the fact that this road is not paved with stone slabs, but with bricks and reused tiles. Among these fragments we uncovered about ten fragmentary stamps in the shape COH VIII R, all designating the troops, that at one time occupied the camp of Teregova, cohors. VIII Raetorum. In the road structure we also discovered many pottery and glass sherds. Between this road and the building standing to its north-west we identified a drain about 0.5 m wide. In this level we uncovered several coins dating to the time of Hadrian, and Antonius Pius, respectively. The road perpendicular to via sagularis was used in all the occupation phases, but the various periods when it was used were not clearly determined. On one of the brick fragments we distinguish a whole stamp of the COH VIII R type. Here we also uncovered a decorated bronze plaque, that must have belonged to the cheek guard of a helmet or to an armour. This year we have succeeded in making out the width of the building identified in 2001, which is about 8.5 m. We may consider that this construction is a cottage, as we presupposed after the 2002 excavations.
