Castellum Severianum
These buildings belonged to an earlier fort, used between AD208 – 211, during the reign of the African emperor Septimius Severus. The series of long rectangular buildings now on display were barrack blocks, accommodating the Severan garrison.
The large courtyarded building was the Commanding Officer's residence. A series of living rooms, bedrooms, kitchen and toilet, as well as a private, heated bath suite had been laid out around its central courtyard.
