The Sofia Echo reports on the rediscovery and recent excavation of a Roman villa in a suburb of Sofia in Bulgaria.

 

Archaeologists have discovered a Roman villa dating back to the third century AD lodged between two apartment blocks in the Sofia borough of Hadji Dimitar, Bulgarian Dnevnik daily reported on September 17 2010.

 

The complex consists of six buildings linked by paved paths, and surrounded by walls. A barn, slave quarters, and a wide assortment of agricultural and other tools were unearthed, including a "treasure of silver coins", which will help determine the exact time of the villa and her inhabitants, although archaeologists believe that the villa was razed some time around the great Gothic invasion of 270-275, the report said.
