....in the course of "renaturating" the Gonsbach-brook at Mainz, archeologists were confronted with the Task of assessing what has been found.
The walls mark a large scale area which faintly resembles what has laready been identified as horse-training-area at similar places.
There are afjacent walls which could be identified as th accompanying stables. Without further research it is also possible to identify the structures also as something like a
"gladiator's Training-ground" as has recentls been identified at Carnuntum/Deutsch-Altenburg (Austria).
The first statements about dating that site are "2nd to 4th century AD".
A short movie Clip in German is available here :

"Mysterious finds from Roman Times".
As far as I recall other statements the area in question is outside of the legionary camp, but may be well inside the walls that have been identified as the cities fortifications of 254/255 AD according to A.Heising.
(Now ....where did I put that f....... book again ?! :mad: )
Ahhh, well, apicture tells more than ...
So for now...
