Marble consecrated slab stone from the Rome epoch was discovered in archaeological excavations by the director of Archaeological Museum in Hisar town doctor Mitko Madjarov.

The precious found has sizes 50 to 50cm and presents the three Rome nymphs - patronesses of the mineral springs.

The fulfillment of the art is made by complete master, the archaeologist commented.

There is a sign on the slab, which is still unread, but is expected to be devoted to the goddesses.

In paleographic point of view the letters are typical for the IIIrd century from the Rome epoch.

During this period the Emperor Diocletian founded the city of Diocletionopol - present Hisar (Central Southern Bulgaria).

This place was favorite spot for relaxation and amusement of the Rome aristocrats, doctor Madjarov tells.

Maybe this will prove one of my theories that Hisar was sanctuaries of the nymphs, he added.
