Ancient Roman Artifacts Unearthed in Ljubljana

New discoveries offer a rare glimpse into Roman life in Emona.

Archaeologists in Ljubljana have uncovered a wealth of new Roman artifacts in the heart of the ancient city of Emona, which predates modern Ljubljana. The findings, made at the construction site for an extension of the National and University Library, include the remains of two residential buildings, known as insulae, complete with traces of a pool and a sophisticated heating system, or hypocaust.

Excavations, which began in October, have revealed parts of the insulae within the city walls, along with a road that once ran between them. The first building, dating from the 4th century AD, features a 6×6 meter pool, nearly 80 cm deep. The second building’s upper layers are still being uncovered, with rich interiors and mosaics starting to emerge.

Portable finds, including mosaic tiles, a cup, a hairpin, a ring, and a needle, have been displayed at the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage. Starting in January, guided tours will be available at the site every Tuesday.
