Roman Vicus of Mainhardt

View on map:49.079620°N 9.553474°E

Description

The camp village ( Vicus ) was located southwest of the fort in the Steinbühl corridor. During the construction of the new sports field and the school building in the second half of the 20th century, a total of ten basements belonging to the camp village were excavated. Everything points to the characteristic for former camp villages characteristic development with long narrow striped houses , which were here probably radiating along a ring road that led south of the fort. In a rescue excavation in 1987, among other things, a 7.40-meter-wide wooden building in Schwellbalkenbauweise over the length of 14 m was tracked. [7]A well of the camp village was investigated in 1979. The small altar discovered in 2000, which shows on the show side a person in a hooded coat, presumably holding a sacrificial bowl and next to it a three-horned bull, seems to prove Gallic influences. In 1967 they discovered a consecration of the year 181 AD, which proves the presence of beneficiaries . Although Hanßelmann reported grave finds in 1630, details are unknown. The location of the Kastellbad is also unknown.
