Hello,
.... interesting video-footage to be found here:
http://www.allgemeine-zeitung.de/lokales...060345.htm
In essence Dr. Witteyer says that the area is estimated to be 8-9 ha large.
There could be 3 possible Scenarios:
- A discus for training horses and cavalry , although this would have made more sense nearer to the legionary fortress on the "Kästrich"
- A gladiator's traing Arena (Carnuntum springs to mind immediately here) and , new to me
- A "bestiarium"
Last years excavations will be put "under soil" again, --- I don't know whether there will be more excavations here or more uphill or at all, because a couple of hotspots Vahe turned up at Mainz regularly for the last couple of years and "Manpower" and "fundings" of the Office concerned with that are nor endless -- "au contraire".
