| Summary: | A Roman bath in use from the 2nd to the 4th century AD at the harbor of Marinael-Alamein on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt continued to be researched, conserved and preparedfor exhibition by the Polish–Egyptian Conservation Mission working under the auspices ofthe Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology, University of Warsaw and the Faculty of Architecture,Wrocław University of Technology. The bath and adjacent civic basilica were located inthe center of the ancient town, to the south of the ruins of the main square. By updating results ofresearch carried out in previous seasons, the present studies on the caldarium and frigidarium of thebath and a part of the civic basilica have brought us significantly closer to identifying the functionallayout of the southern baths. Phases of construction were investigated as well and it is now possibleto trace the transformation of the building over time. |
