Archaeologists Unearth Ancient Roman Settlements Across Bulgaria, Slovakia, France, Romania

Recent archaeological discoveries in Slovakia and Bulgaria shed light on the Roman era in Central and Eastern Europe. In Slovakia, archaeologists uncovered a well-preserved second-century Roman aqueduct beneath the Rusovce Manor House, suggesting a connection to an unknown structure that may have utilized its water supply. Meanwhile, in Bulgaria, the remains of a Late Roman settlement were found during gas pipeline construction, revealing evidence of a community potentially devastated by Gothic raids around 347 A.D. The excavations in Bulgaria uncovered significant artifacts including pottery, coins, and structures that hint at an agrarian lifestyle. Both findings highlight the rich and complex history of Roman settlements in these regions, with further research needed to understand their full implications. These discoveries are significant contributions to our understanding of Roman architecture and community life during tumultuous times.
