SANCTUARY, 4th century
3D reconstruction
Accessible from the southern and western sides, the area of the sanctuary was separated from other parts of the settlement. The visitors, perhaps even processions doing a ritual round of the sanctuary, made their way through the raised lateral colonnades, which afforded a view across the thermal water in the spring pool.
Descending into the forum, they found themselves in a place that was relatively enclosed, “confined” by high colonnades, and dominated by the spring pool, from which thermal water emitted vapours, as well as raised temples on the northern side that housed monumental statues of diverse deities, while the colonnades in all probability contained numerous altars, reliefs and various votive inscriptions.
