Richly decorated building in the western part of the Civil Town of Aquincum (original) (raw)

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.
