View on map:50.486465°N 8.784867°E

Description

The re-sighting of the aerial photographs also provided evidence of a bathing establishment on the site of the extensive camp village ( vicus ) , built as accommodation for the families of the soldiers, on the south-facing Roman highwayjust before the south gate of the fort. The recognizable contours clearly suggested the outline of a Roman fort bath. Similar structures within the foundations of a manor house to the east of the enclosure had previously been located in photographs, so that there must have been two bathing establishments in the area of ​​the castle of Arnsburg, but not necessarily at the same time. Evidence that the building on the street was a bath was made possible by the discovery of 875 gram bricks , the surface of which was covered with lime- sand from constant contact with water . [3] A little further away from the south gate was still inside the camp village aAmphitheater .
