Roman Baths educational workcamp project, Bulgaria
Project dates: August 15th - August 28th
Project highlights: Roman baths in the Eastern Roman Empire
The thermae (Roman baths) near the modern city of Stara Zagora were discovered during an attempt to locate the channeling of the Turkish baths in order to repair it. The site was excavated from 1955 to 1964, and the building was identified. It is composed of 12 distinct parts, or rooms, and occupies an area of 2 500 m². The artifacts found at the site indicate that it was used from the 2nd to the 12th centuries A.D. An inscription in ancient Greek, discovered in 1965, dates the building of the thermae to 162-163 A.D. and identifies the official responsible for their construction as Ulpius Hieronymus, born in Nicomedia, high priest of Augusta Traiana.
By participating in this project you will be helping with the acquisitions of new knowledge about Roman architecture in the ancient province of Thrace, as well as helping us preserve an important part of the world’s cultural heritage.
The Roman Baths Educational Workcamp Project consists of 10 workcamp days, 5 theoretical lectures and two excursions, as well as guided tours of the city of Stara Zagora and its surrounding area, and recreational activities. The workcamp days consist of the cleaning of the site of the Roman baths with the assistance and under the directions of the project’s supervisors.
Participation fee: 799 EUR (discount available)
