Hi Robert,
....  hopefully they can tell more about the camp in the "Southern Quarter".
Insulae 7,14 and small stripes of insulae 6 and 13.

I'm with those who previously guessed it was a camp for the soldiers who tore down the old colonia, to build the Constantinian fort.

Hi Robert,
      I just got the catalogue, so I've had no time for more than a short peep into it.
As they have touched the subject, I would just (grossly)  summarize that they’d rather attribute that
building complex to the times of the Imperium Galliarum (260-274AD) or shortly thereafter.
Since there is „Work In Progress“ you may be able to get more recent findings when visiting the
place during that exhibition, as they have research facilities „on site“.
And, yes, they still have no exact clue about the exact date of the end of Vetera 2.
The book seems to be what I would call a "good buy".

Thanks!
It would not be the first occasion in which a 'Constantinian' building or monument was actually started by a predecessor, and later 'attributed' to the usurper because of his later fame.

Not directly related to the subject, but, in a way , "pushing the envelope" .
