A BTM Aquincumi Múzeumának ásatásai és leletmentései 1994-ben (Aquincumi Füzetek 1. Budapest, 1995)

4. Feltárás az aquincumi katonaváros délkeleti régiójában /Facsády Annamária/

lyén került elő egy ép oltárkő (16. kép) melyet az aquincumi legio, a legio II. Adiutrix egyik tisztviselője, Marcus Aurelius Ingenuus cornicular­ius állíttatott Iuppiter tiszteletére. A későbbi korokban az omladozó épü­leteket részben lerombolták, a ma­radványokat többször elplanírozták, részben a még álló falakat alapfal­ként felhasználták. once this building had been destroyed, more sophisticated vari­ously oriented houses were built on the leveled surface (Figures 14 and 15). Their walls were made using the characteristic, so-called herring bone (opus spicatum) pattern. A modest form of hypocaust heating could be identified on the basis of heating channels found in one of the rooms. As is shown by fragments recovered from the rubble, the walls were deco­rated with paintings in red, ochre, white and rurquois colors. Only a surviving bronze fitting represents the furniture from this building. It is suggests the possibility, however, that the inhabitants of this house were relatively wealthy. An intact altar stone was found south of the buildings in a secondary position (Figure 16). It was erected by Marcus Aurelius Ingenuus cornicularius, one of the administrators of the legio II. Adiutrix in honor of Jupiter. Subsequently, the slowly decompos­ing buildings were either pulled down and levelled several times or their standing walls were used to make the foundations of new hous­es. Annamária Facsády
