Zaščitna arheološka izkopavanja na lokaciji Narodni dom v Celju (2001–2003) : ovrednotenje naselbinskih ostankov v kontekstu novejših raziskav antične Celeje

Mak, Luka (avtor), Gaspari, Andrej (mentor)

Diplomsko delo obravnava rezultate zaščitnih arheoloških izkopavanj na območju Narodnega doma v Celju, izvedenih v letih 2001 in 2003 in posebno pozornost posveča pomenu odkritih ostankov za razumevanje urbanističnega razvoja antične Celeje. Namen raziskave je bil analizirati prostorske, arhitekturne in infrastrukturne značilnosti najdišča ter ga umestiti v širši kontekst znanih faz pozidave mesta. V okviru raziskav so bile dokumentirane tri stavbne faze, od katerih je tretja iz konca 2. stoletja razkrila ostanke verjetno zasebnega, termalnega kompleksa, vključno s praefurnijem, hipokavstom, tepidarijem in frigidarijem ter z elementi kanalizacijskega sistema. Posebej pomembna je identifikacija prvega obzidja Celeje, ki potrjuje, da je bilo mesto utrjeno že pred poznorimskim obdobjem. Z vključitvijo geoloških, epigrafskih in arheoloških virov je bila osvetljena prostorska dinamika Celeje, katere urbanistično jedro se je razvijalo v tesni povezavi z naravnimi danostmi, predvsem reko Savinjo in njenimi pritoki. Raziskava potrjuje, da je bilo mesto že v zgodnjem rimskem obdobju infrastrukturno razvito, urbanistično urejeno in v razviti fazi tudi utrjeno, kar ga uvršča med pomembna mestna središča province Norik.

Izvleček

The thesis discusses the results of protective archaeological excavations in the area of the Narodni dom in Celje, carried out in 2001 and 2003, with an emphasis on the significance of the discovered remains for understanding the urban development of ancient Celeia. The aim of the research was to analyze the spatial, architectural, and infrastructural characteristics of the site and to contextualize it within the broader framework of the city's known construction phases. The investigations documented three archaeological phases, the third of which, dating to the late 2nd century, revealed the remains—likely of a private thermal complex—including a praefurnium, hypocaust, tepidarium, and frigidarium, as well as elements of a sewage system. Particularly significant is the identification of the oldest known section of Celeia’s first fortification wall, confirming that the city was fortified already before the Late Roman period. With the inclusion of geological, epigraphic, and archaeological sources, the spatial dynamics of Celeia have been illuminated, revealing that the city’s urban core developed in close connection with natural features, particularly the Savinja River and its tributaries. The study confirms that already in the Early Roman period, the city was infrastructurally developed, urbanistically organized, and defensively fortified in its developed stage, placing it among the important urban centers of the province of Noricum.
