AI-generated Abstract

The archaeological excavations conducted in 2008 in the western part of the Civil Town of Aquincum revealed extensive remains of a richly decorated public building. These excavations, conducted in two phases, aimed to gather data for the planning of a new road system connected to the Aquincum Bridge. Findings included walls, floor levels, and artifacts from at least four major construction phases, indicating a complex history of use and modification. Notably, the structure featured large marble slabs, colored frescoes, and a decorative mosaic floor, with geologically intriguing layers that warrant further study.
