“The building was very luxuriously equipped. Although the area was rebuilt several times over the centuries and then plundered, we found pieces of furniture made of bronze, in the form of applications and legs in the shape of lion’s paws, and well-preserved large metal lamp” – said Prof. Dyczek.
According to head of the research project, the greatest discovery this season are three unique, finely crafted bronze figurines. One depicts a sitting, singing actor in a comic mask, the other two – speakers dressed in togas. Statue date back to II century AD. They were ornaments of luxury furniture, or household shrine.
