Summary (English)
DEULTUM (Hristo Preshlenov – hristo.preshlenov@abv.bg) The explorations continued in the insula situated to the west of the cardo that ran along the thermae. The cardo had been explored in 1987 – 1988. In 2016, another section of the Late Roman wall was documented, which was discovered in the southeastern room of the building constructed at the end of the 4th century AD to the north of the street. The northern outer wall of the building constructed at the end of the 4th century AD (after AD 383 – 388) to the south of the street was documented. The building was burned after AD 406 – 408 and was subsequently restored. There was a drain beneath the street, situated to the north of the building, and the latest coins from the drain dated to AD 406 – 408. After the stone slabs that covered the drain were dismantled, it was filled with earth containing two bronze coins of Theodosius II minted in AD 408 – 423 and AD 425 – 435, sherds from amphorae and pots of the end of the 4th – 5th centuries AD, sherds from red-gloss tableware of the 5th century AD, nails, a fragment of a terracotta lamp. A pit was excavated to the southwest of the northern entrance of the building and it was filled with burned debris of fragmentary bricks, roof-tiles and sun-dried bricks, sherds from amphorae of the 2nd – 5th centuries AD and bronze coins, the latest one minted by Honorius in AD 406 – 408.
