Archaeologists have discovered the largest Roman villa ever built in Wales. The find was discovered in Margam Country Park in the south of the country.<\/p>\n
The discovery was made through geophysical surveys using ground-penetrating radar. The devices revealed a large structure located less than a meter below the surface. The area where it was found had been undeveloped and largely unused for agriculture for centuries, contributing to the excellent preservation of the remains.<\/p>\n
The survey revealed that the villa had an area of \u200b\u200bapproximately 572 m\u00b2 and was surrounded by a fortification system. The structure had a corridor layout with two wings and a veranda. According to researchers, it was a representative building belonging to the local elite, likely richly decorated with sculptures and mosaics.<\/p>\n
Other structures were also discovered at the site, including a large building measuring 354 m\u00b2, which may have served as a barn or gathering place. The findings indicate the existence of a large agricultural estate that was an important center of social and economic life.<\/p>\n
The current priority is to protect the site from destruction and illegal exploration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":159753,"template":"","class_list":["post-159758","odkrycia-rzymskie","type-odkrycia-rzymskie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/odkrycia-rzymskie\/159758","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/odkrycia-rzymskie"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/odkrycia-rzymskie"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/odkrycia-rzymskie\/159758\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/159753"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=159758"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
