Description

The Roman granaries, partially examined in the 1950s were re-examined in order to re-assess the previous interpretation of the history of these buildings. Despite the larger area examined and increased knowledge of other parts of the fortress, the results of the recent work do not conflict with the earlier interpretation. (1)
