Abstract

The present interim report covers three years (2013–15) of various archaeological activities in Novae and its surroundings, including not only three systematic summer excavation campaigns (defences of the legionary fortress) and two spring prospection campaigns (2013–14: extramural settlements – vicus at Ostrite Mogili and canabae including the mithraeum) but also emergency excavations associated with earthworks preceding the opening of an archaeological park in the central part of the site (2013) and with repairing the broken modern water supply pipe Vardim – Svištov in the rear part of the fortress (2014).
