Hospital built by the 10th Legion Found

[John M McDermott]

It was some time ago that I came across it. I think Philius Estilius knows the details if he is watching this post.

Hi,

Today I made a short trip and took some pictures on Musov Burgstall. So here is the valetudinarium. In fact it's not in south-eastern part of Zone D, but in north-eastern part of Zone E (just next to the road you can see on the plan of Burgstall and also on the photos).

In the Prague museum there are several tiles with the LXGPF stamp, wondering wether any new ones will come up here..

Hi,

More than 90 bricks with stamps of Leg X GPF have been found on Burgstall. Nevertheless I don't think any new one will appear here. Well, I don't have any news or reports from the dig, but I would say that the hospital was a wooden structure (ie. no tiles).

... but I would say that the hospital was a wooden structure (ie. no tiles).

Hmmm ... I supposed wooden shingles would be a possibility, but I'm sure timber buildings often had tiled roofs. (Can't think of an example at the moment!)

Hi Duncan,

You're right. I should have checked the terminology in vocabulary (bricks, tiles and other building materials) :oops: (there are still many areas where my English must improve...)

I will try to find out something about finds in the area of the hospital.
