Description

The large brick slab served as a cover for underfloor heating (hypocaustum) in Roman times. It has the standard size of a so-called later. The brick was made between 150 and 230 AD at an unknown location and was installed in the village in front of the fort.

On its top are the prints of children's feet and a curse carved in Greek: "Oreus and Monos are damned hillbillies, more so than Lawrence“. The Greek craftsman is probably complaining about children stepping on the bricks that were laid out to dry. The graffiti is one of the rare evidence of a Greek-speaking population group from the east of the Roman Empire in the province of Upper Germany.
