In 1989 the remains of a basilican drill and exercise hall was discovered, so far unique among the auxiliary forts of the Roman Empire. |
For the most part, the Early Norman or basilican forms were too low to please them in their present enthusiasm. |
The building is basilican in plan with service spaces and exhibit spaces on either side of a central circulation spine. |
It was a basilican church with nave, and aisles raised two steps above it. |
The interior of the basilican body, as we already mentioned, is divided up into three naves by two rows consisting of nine reclaimed columns surmounted by capitals of obvious classical origin. |
Here was a Roman basilican church, while in another place would be found one of timber and thatch. |
