Roman fountain Bad Gleichenberg
The Roman fountain Bad Gleichenberg is a reminder of the use of a fountain by the Romans in the municipality of Bad Gleichenberg in Styria .
history
The Eastern Styrian hill country became part of the Noricum province in Roman times , which was administered from Flavia Solva . In 1845, in the course of the establishment of Bad Gleichenberg as a health resort , a well shaft from Roman times was excavated during the further expansion of the Kurmittelhaus. In the well shaft, 70 Roman coins from 14 to 284 AD and 12 hazelnuts petrified by the mineral water were found.
Roman fountain
After the discovery, the well shaft was made visible to the spa guests like a monument with 13 layers in the spa park. When Austria was liberated at the end of the Second World War, the facility was destroyed and the well shaft stones scattered. As a result, the remaining well stones were brought together and arranged next to the Bad Gleichenberg well house in two layers as an expanded circle of seats.
