Summary (English)

  • AQUAE CALIDAETHERMA (Dimcho Momchilov – karnobat.muzey@mail.bg, Miroslav Klasnakov, Milen Nikolov) A sector of the Early Byzantine western fortification wall was discovered. It was built of ashlars bonded with mortar and was 1.50 m wide. Part of the fortification gate, 3 m wide, was explored as well. Coins and sherds of the 5th – 7th centuries AD and a Byzantine lead seal of an empress of the middle of the 11th century were found. Part of a building was explored in Trench A–4 with walls 40 cm wide, built in rubble masonry. The finds from the excavations included coins and sherds of the 5th – 7th centuries AD and of the 11th – 13th centuries, including sgraffito pottery, an anonymous Byzantine lead seal of the end of the 11th century, finger-rings, fragments from a marble statuette, a bronze mace, a fragment from a Greek inscription reused as a spolia, which mentions Pantouleos Graptiakos, the governor of the Province of Thrace in AD 172.
