Summary/Abstract: In the archaeological campaign of 2011 (Edifice with Hypocaustum site) the excavations were executed under the bridge by dismantling and digging the northern half of the old road (DJ 205) and the terrain north of it. In the studied area there were no archaeological complexes, but there was a significant amount of material (fragments of roman bricks and tiles, fragmentary pottery and marble, iron nails etc). We also identified wall remains, one of them being over 24 m long (not fully uncovered) and placed parallel with the northern wall of the edifice with hypocaustum. From the archaeological material recovered we mention a comb made from bone, two fragments of bricks and three fragments of tiles stamped with the seal LEG XI CL.
