Summary (English)
TEMPLUM IOVIS (Todor Marvakov – tmarvakov@abv.bg, Konstantin Gospodinov, Martin Giuzelev) A building constructed of bricks bonded with mortar was discovered. The bricks measured 33 cm by 33 cm and were 6 cm thick. Debris from the building was explored: fragments from bricks, roof-tiles and architectural stone details, including fragments from cornices and tubs. Parts of two rooms were explored. Room No. 1 had two floor levels. The lower floor was constructed of terracotta tiles covered with mortar. The upper floor was built directly on the lower one. Its foundation was constructed of stones covered with mortar and it was paved with marble tiles, 50 cm by 50 cm in size. Three exedras with small pools with seats were documented on the northern wall of the room. Drains for outflowing the water were discovered. The room had at least two entrances. The exedras and the walls of the room were faced with marble veneer. Two rectangular niches were documented on the northern wall of Room No. 2. The room had a hypocaust and at least two entrances. Fragments from terracotta tubes that supported the floor were found. The finds from the excavations comprised sherds, including from amphorae, and bronze coins minted from Leo I to Justin II. The building dated from the middle of the 5th to the end of the 6th centuries and most probably it was a bath building.
