színű, hogy a kőalapozás agyagból épített
felmenőfaláról van szó, mert az omladék a
falkiszedésen is nyugszik, tehát az épület
kőanyagának kitermelése után került oda.
Az árok déli végében, ugyancsak az említett
faltól keletre, de jóval mélyebben, vízszintes
kiképzésű, tégladarabokból összekötött
padlóalapozási szintet találtunk.
Mindez arra utal, hogy az épület kelet felé
még a Szentendrei út alatt is folytatódott.
A 2004. évi feltárások megválaszolatlanul
hagytak egy sor kérdést a canabae
északi, elővárosi beépítettségével kapcsolatban.
A legfontosabb probléma az aquaeductus
nyomvonalának tisztázatlansága.
A Filatorigáton nem sikerült megfognunk
sem az áruház alapjában, sem a Mozaik
utcai felüljáró alatt, sem pedig a Szentendrei
út nyugati oldalán, ahol a leginkább
számítottunk rá. Mindazonáltal, a
feltárások eredményeképpen, a lehetséges

did not reach the Roman level, there was
no need to completely uncover the area
to be impacted by this access road. Two
parallel stone walls laid in the earth were
uncovered in the test trench curving in a
northeast–southwest direction. The westerly
0.4 m wide wall was made of small,
poor quality stones. Only its removed wall
could be observed at the northern end
of the trench. The extremely weak wall
construction belongs to a construction
category between a wall and a removed
wall if such a category existed. It was too
compact for a removed wall but too weak
for a wall. The crosswise running walls
and removed walls observed in the public
utilities trench certainly ran into this wall
remnant from the west. We found one of
the wall corners at the northern end of the
trench. The remainder of the corners must
be located in the zone not yet investigated
between the two trenches.
The other wall ran about 0.7–0.8 m
to the east. (Fig. 8) It was built of much
higher quality, large grey, fl at slabs. It was
0.6 m thick. We found its surface and
it could be observed in the section wall
that the higher parts of the wall had
been pulled down. Yellow clay debris ran
along the eastern side of the wall nearly
down the entire length of the trench. It
does not seem to have been a clay wall
based on a stone foundation since the
debris covers the remains of the wall as
well and so it must have been deposited
there after the stone material of the building
was removed. At the southern end of
the trench, also east of this wall although
much deeper, the level of the foundation
of a fl oor built of horizontally laid bricks
came to light. All these factors suggest
that the building extended further, even
continuing under Szentendrei Road.
