The archaeologists from the team of Assoc. Prof. Lyudmil Vagalinski \/ NAIM \/ continue to find traces of it and on the finest elements of architectural decoration.

So those elements, which have not yet been placed where they should be, have not fallen from above and have remained intact. For example, part of the large marble troughs with lions\u2019 heads is facing upside down, keeping them unbroken. The hypothesis is also confirmed by the fact, that a glass kiln was found in a premise in the northwest corner of the civilian basilica.

Only two of its volutes are finished properly, others are roughly shaped.<\/p>\n<p>Were they left unfinished on purpose, because the capital was intended for a place, only partially exposed to passers-by? After consultation with Assoc. Prof. Dr. Zdravko Dimitrov (NAIM) the thesis that it was columnar was firmly laid, i.e. visible on all sides. But why is it in this state then?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1074\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1074\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1074\" src=\"http:\/\/www.archaeologia-bulgarica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_4481-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"260\" height=\"173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.archaeologia-bulgarica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_4481-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.archaeologia-bulgarica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_4481-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1074\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">First, finished side<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1077\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1077\" style=\"width: 261px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1077\" src=\"http:\/\/www.archaeologia-bulgarica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_4483-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"261\" height=\"174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.archaeologia-bulgarica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_4483-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.archaeologia-bulgarica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_4483-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 261px) 100vw, 261px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1077\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Second, finished side<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This capital just like the others was made by experienced masters \u2013 probably traveling stonecutters from Asia Minor, the ones that were the best in marble decoration. In the second century AD the city was in bloom, its management could afford their high prices, at least at the beginning. They have sculpted all the details on the architraves too, it was a long and hard work not for a month or two, but for years. Probably a period of financial difficulties has occurred, the stonecutters have not received the full pay for their work and they left, without finishing the last capital. This has not prevented the Heracleians to install it, but also to their heirs about 150 years or more lately to reuse it during the repairs of the forum.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1080\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1080\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1080\" src=\"http:\/\/www.archaeologia-bulgarica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_4485-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"260\" height=\"173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.archaeologia-bulgarica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_4485-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.archaeologia-bulgarica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_4485-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1080\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Third, unfinished side<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1083\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1083\" style=\"width: 254px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1083\" src=\"http:\/\/www.archaeologia-bulgarica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_4486-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"254\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.archaeologia-bulgarica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_4486-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.archaeologia-bulgarica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_4486-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 254px) 100vw, 254px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1083\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fourth, unfinished side<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But after the earthquake at the end of the 4th century Heraclea Sintica never succeeded to regain the old shine. The population of the city was so poor, that it did not clear the traces of Strumenshnica&#8217;s tidal wave even on the main square. And the roof of the civilian basilica was not fully restored. Judging by the many animal bones in it, it is possible that this building was used as a barn. Again then most of the commercial premises at the northern end of the forum have been turned into poor dwellings.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is no doubt anymore \u2013 about 388 years A.
