ROMAN VILLA AND MAUSOLEUM AT KŐVÁGÓSZŐLŐS 95 Fig. 54. Room J, NW corner, from the E Fig. 57. Plan of room К Fig. 55. Bronze fibula (R.83.102.11), room J 1:1 Fig. 58. Room К Room J, Block II, 50-70 cm: FRAGMENTS OF FRESCO. Plain white, light blue fragments, and also some pieces decorated with dark stripes. R.83.105.2. (Cat. XVI. № 19.). Room К (Block V) Figs. 2, 41, 57-60. Dimensions: N-S = 450 cm E-W = 610 cm Walls: N = W15/50 cm S = W14/40 cm E = Wl/65 cm W = W6/65 cm POINTS OF REFERENCE: 8 = 187,98 (foundation of wall W14) 9 = 188,88 (top of wall Wl) 10 = 188,44 (wall Wl) 12 = 188,35 (top of lowermost brick) 13 = 188,23 (break in wall W14 for the heating pipe, top of brick) 64 = 189,21 (wall W6, top of Td7) 11 = 188,76 (top of brick hypocaust pillars 1 + 5) Walls Wl and W14 were erected simultaneously (187,98). The vault of Fp3, starting 160 cm towards the N of the SE corner of the room in wall Wl (Figs. 58 — 59), was found fallen in outside the wall. Having planished the debris of the one-time destruction there we hit upon a ground level at a depth of— 65 cm measured from the top of wall Wl. The deepest level excavated outside the wall was — 130 cm. We managed to locate the termination of wall Wl at its junction with wall W15 (underneath the present-day wall!). The way the still existent E outer wall was added to this structure (35 cm) has made the earlier, original wall unnoticeable. Wall Wla, attached to wall Wl, appeared to be a roughand-ready and irregularly erected construction. The distance between the foundation of this wall and the top of the present-day wall was only 100 cm. The soil below was yellowish-brown and clayey. Room К was heated from three directions under the flooring; by means of the wall heating bricks, the warm air could also heat the surrounding walls. The warm air entered the room through the E outer wall (Fp3), from the opposite heating pipe (Td7) originally situated under the present-day threshold and through the lowermost breach in wall W14. The one-time heating pipe opposite Fp3 was bricked up during subse-
