Lambaesis: Difference between revisions

Behind this building (which was roofed), is a large court giving access to other buildings, one being the [[arsenal]]. In it have been found many thousands of [[projectiles]]. To the southeast are the remains of the baths. The ruins of both city and camp have yielded many [[inscriptions]] ([[Leon Renier|Renier]] edited 1500, and there are 4185 in [[Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum|CIL]] viii); and, though a very large proportion are [[epitaph]]s of the barest kind, the more important pieces supply an outline of the history of the place.

Over 2500 inscriptions relating to the camp have been deciphered. In a museum in the village are objects of antiquity discovered in the vicinity.<ref>René Cagnat. ''Musée de Lambèse.''

The statues include those of [[Aesculapius]] and [[Hygieia]], taken from the temple of Aesculapius.
