Noi cercetări arheologice din castrul de la Câmpulung (Pescăreasa, punct Jidova) (2010–2015)

Abstract

Recent archaeological excavations carried out between 2010 and 2015 in the central area of the Câmpulung Roman fort (latus praetorii dextrum) indicated that the small double apse building with underfloor heating located between the headquarters and the granary, was a later construction, dated towards the middle of the 3rd century CE. Prior to its construction, a timber building existed on the spot, a possible timber granary (horreum), judging by its dimensions (33 × 9 m2), comparable with the size of the stone granary. Such timber granaries are common within the Roman auxiliary forts, especially during the earth-timber construction phases. This timber granary was destroyed by fire sometime during or after the reign of Severus Alexander. The area was covered with gravel and the double apse building was constructed, along with a well ( ?) in front of it ; unfortunately, it is impossible, up to this moment, to establish its functio
