Hospital built by the 10th Legion Found
#10
Hi Duncan,

In fact the Musil's article in Gentes, Reges und Rom is mostly about bricks from these territories.

Sure, no problem with explanation:
In the top right section of the picture is the first residential building of four rooms. The length is 21 m, width 6 m. It was build in two phases - at first the two eastern rooms, both with under-floor heating. Later the western two rooms were added. In the most western one hypocaustum was quite well preserved.

Just above the number 1 you can se the baths (balneum). It is possible that it made up a larger complex together with the building mentioned above and together with other buildings which didn't survive until our times. There were some traces of other constructions, but unfortunately very scarce. Again some of these rooms had hypocaustum or similar heating.

Number 2 is the luxury residential building with peristyle and apsis on the floor Neurissen. Dimensions are 44 x 20 m.

Number 3 is part of the workshop district. There were at least 6 sunk (Is this the correct English word?) oblong buildings made from timber and clay, with the width ca. 2,7-3,5 m and length 4,75-5,5 m. The construction was made by vertical poles in the corners of the buildings and in the middle of it's longer sides. There were at least 5 simple, circular ovens in the vicinity mostly with iron scrap.

Below you can see the most current plan of Burgstall (Hradisko) I have (still without valetudinarium etc.). It's taken from Komoróczy, B., 2008. Hradisko (Burgstall) u Mušova ve sv?tle výzkum? v letech 1994-2007. In E. Droberjar, B. Komoróczy, & D. Vach?tová, eds. Barbarská sidlišt?: Chronologické, ekonomické a historické aspekty jejich vývoje ve sv?tle nových archeologických výzkum?. Brno, pp. 391-438. The other image is from the same paper. 1 is the balneum, 2 is the 4 room residential building, 3 is the workshop district, 7 is the residential building on Neurissen. You can see the fortification with some turrets and a gate at Neurissen. "Rez" means "cut", these have been done to trace the fortifications. IIRC the valetudinarium should be in the most south-eastern part of the Zone D.

EDIT: Ehm, the valetudinarium should be in the most south-EASTERN part of the Zone D... Sorry for the mistake.

Greetings
Alexandr
