"Most of the knowledge of the complex comes from archaeological investigations of the site between 1989 and 1991. But only minimal traces of the Roman buildings have been found: no more than the trenches in which the walls were founded, with some remains of rubble in the ground . The complex has been demolished in ancient times. Moreover, many archaeological traces disappeared when the site was leveled after the Second World War as part of the land consolidation. Only a few deeper traces such as the foundation remains, some wells and some pits have been preserved. However, especially with the metal detector, many Roman objects were found spread over a larger area: pieces of military equipment, coins, jewelry and the like. They give a good picture of what was sacrificed to the Roman gods."
