In Search of Lost Principia from Roman Legionary Fortress Tilurium
The roman legionary fortress Tilurium is situated in the hinterland of Salona, the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia. It was built on a plateau overlooking the right bank of the Cetina River (Hippus), on a dominating and strategic position controlling the surrounding fields and plateaus, as well as the crossing over the Cetina in the area of the town of Trilj (Pons Tiluri). From 1997, the Roman legionary fortress becomes for the first time part of an archaeological research project. Since then, contours of fortress architecture have emerged to see the light of day. On the extreme western end the remains of a massive western rampart have remained preserved above ground to this day. Excavations were carried out on a building lying parallel to the western rampart and on a cistern in the northwestern part of the fortress, with remains of a canal that probably carried water to the center of the fortress. The excavation in the southeast part of the former fortress revealed a segment of the south rampart and the remains of military barracks (centuriae) oriented east-west. In addition west of them further military barracks, oriented north- south and lying adjacent to the previous, were revealed. The remains of a floor mosaic were found in the central part of the fortress. A fragment of the central field depicting the rear of a bull remained preserved. The location in the center of the fortress, together with other data, suggests that the mosaic may have been part of the Principia, but due to objective circumstances, it has not been possible to confirm this so far by archaeological excavations. The intention of this paper is to draw attention to the numerous data collected during more than 20 years of research in Tilurium that speak about the position and appearance of the Principia.
