Villa suburbana (Friedberg)
The Villa suburbana on the district of Derching , a district of Friedberg in Swabia Aichach-Friedberg in Bavaria , was explored by excavations in the years 1973, 1989 and 1990th The suburban villa is located 700 meters southwest of the Church of St. Jakob von Friedberg and is a protected ground monument . The capital of the Roman province of Raetia Augusta Vindelicum (Augsburg) is only seven kilometers away.
Excavations before planned construction work allowed the floor plan of a building to be reconstructed. It was a representative building standing above the valley of the Friedberger Ach , the 51 meter wide front of which was divided by corner risers and a portico running between them . The bathroom was located in the south elevation and the sleeping wing is assumed to be in the north elevation, which is also equipped with a hypocaust system and mosaics . The villa, built in the first century and inhabited until the end of the fourth century, is one of the earliest evidence of the Romanization of Bavaria outside the cities. The upscale lifestyle of the residents is evidenced by the neck fragment of a southern French amphora with a dipinto from the winery of a Titus.
Traces of outbuildings were found scattered north of the villa, and a stone farm building stood 60 meters southeast of the main building.
