6m wide portico fronting on either side 7 rowsof rectangular “rooms” with dimensions around8.9x4.9m. The latter are probably predominantlytabernae.The geophysical surveys indicated the presenceof a whole series of mostly rectangular structurespositioned on this forum square. They could possiblyindicate different podia, statue bases andeven cisterns. One linear diagonal feature is mostprobably the aqueduct leading to one of thewater basins 23.On the opposite site of the square from the templewas the basilica, an elongated rectangularhall (circa 46x17m), internally with two rows ofcolumns or pillars, spaced at about every 4m 24.The naves were perhaps unequal in width and thecentral aisle was around 7m wide. Its entranceis probably located centrally in its northern longside.On the short south-western side the threeaisledbuilding was flanked by three elongatedrooms, whose function is still unknown, but it isbelieved that they were linked with the administrativefunctions of the building. There is alsocomparative evidence to possibly interpret someof these rooms as devoted to the imperial cult.The preliminary study of the archaeological findspoints to the mid-first century AD (possibly thereign of Claudius) for the beginning of the constructionof the monumental complex, with anearly phase of renovation probably undertakenin Flavian times (the last quarter of the firstcentury AD). Comparanda of plan and chronologycan be found in Lusitania (Augusta Emerita,Ebora Liberalitas Iulia, Pax Iulia, Sellium andBobadela) and in the wider context of the otherHispanic provinces.C.C.Ao longo da praça do fórum, as prospeções geofísicasidentificaram uma série de estruturas maioritariamenteretangulares que poderão correspondera diferentes pódios, bases de estátuas ou mesmocisternas. Uma estrutura linear visível na diagonalcorresponde possivelmente ao aqueduto que conduza um dos tanques 23.No outro lado da praça, em frente do templo, ficaa basílica, um longo edifício retangular (cerca de46 x 17 metros), dotado de duas fiadas de colunasou pilares com um espaçamento de cerca de 4 metrosentre si 24. A nave central teria cerca de 7 metrosde largura, sendo provavelmente menores as laterais.A entrada estaria centrada, no lado maior, a norte.Na ala menor, a sudoeste, o edifício de três naves eraladeado por três extensos compartimentos cuja funçãoé ainda desconhecida, embora se pense poderemestar associados às funções administrativas do edifício.Por comparação com outros casos conhecidos,é igualmente admissível que alguns destes espaçosse destinassem ao culto imperial.O estudo preliminar dos materiais arqueológicospermite situar o início da construção do complexomonumental em meados do século I (possivelmente,no reinado de Cláudio), com uma primeira fase derenovação provavelmente levada a cabo no períodoflaviano (no último quartel do século I). O fórum deAmmaia encontra bons paralelos em edifícios análogosda Lusitania (Augusta Emerita, Ebora LiberalitasIulia, Pax Iulia, Sellium e Bobadela) e das outrasprovíncias hispânicas.C.C.2535

Excavation campaigns havecontinued in the following summers in orderto thoroughly investigate this important urbanbuilding.What had been brought to light are parts of avast complex, containing one room which wasclearly identified as a bath facility (ambiente A,26), probably heated, and the corner of a wellbuiltnatatio (ambiente F, 26). In between them,O complexo termalAs escavações realizadas no complexo termal, situadoimediatamente a sul do fórum, iniciaram-se em 1996,seguindo-se várias outras campanhas até 2003. Noverão de 2008, teve início um novo programa deinvestigação estratigráfica. As escavações continuaramnos verões seguintes com o objetivo de estudarexaustivamente este importante edifício urbano.O que foi posto a descoberto são partes de umvasto complexo dotado de um compartimento claramenteidentificado como instalação balneária(ambiente A, 26), provavelmente aquecida, e ocanto de uma bem estruturada natatio (ambiente F,26). Entre ambos, parece existir um espaço amplocujo pavimento original provavelmente assentaria36
