Summary
Gamzigrad-Romuliana, the Palace of Galerius, emerges as a significant archaeological site with new insights into its construction and function. The study presents findings from German-Serbian research that shed light on the architectural techniques and historical context of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Key discoveries include advanced masonry methods and the integration of local materials, reflecting the engineering prowess of the Roman era. The research employs a multidisciplinary approach, combining architectural analysis with material science to reconstruct the palace's original design and purpose. This work not only enhances our understanding of late Roman architecture but also provides a deeper context for the site's preservation as a cultural heritage landmark.
