Summary
A newly discovered villa in the vicinity of the Palace of Galerius at Gamzigrad-Romuliana challenges conventional distinctions between palatial and residential structures. This study compares the archaeological evidence of Romuliana's 'Palace' with that of the 'Villa extra muros' at Gamzigrad, providing a nuanced framework for differentiating these architectural forms. By analyzing spatial organization, structural features, and contextual clues, the research offers insights into the functional and symbolic roles of these sites in late Roman society. The findings contribute to ongoing debates about the nature of Romuliana's complex, shedding light on its possible dual function as both a ceremonial center and a private residence.
