Archaeologists made remarkable discoveries during excavations on the site of the ancient city of Ulpia Oescus, close to the village of Gigen in Pleven district. The finds include well-preserved marble columns and capital fragments, as well as the head of a statue, made of limestone, discovered inside an ancient mount close by.
Dr. Gergana Kabakchieva, head of the excavations, says the head was probably of one of the so-called soldier emperors from the mid or late 3rd century. These latest finds indicate that the central building in Ulpia Oescus was considerably bigger than was previously thought. The famed Achaeans mosaic was discovered in one of its dormitories more than 50 years ago; it is now on display at the museum in Pleven.
