Saravus (Saarbrucken) Saarland, Germany.
A Roman settlement founded early in the 1st c. A.D. at the Saar crossing of the
Metz-Worms road. There, in the angle of the Halberg and the river, developed a
considerable settlement of craftsmen and merchants. Within the town the Trier-Strassburg
road intersected the Worms road. A characteristic middle-class house contained
three adjacent rooms with hypocaust, cellar, and deep well. The eaves ran parallel
to the road. Parts of a larger villa urbana were discovered near the banks of
the Saar. A wooden bridge nearby had been replaced by one built of stone. Drinking
water was brought in through an impressive rock tunnel. A well-executed stone
statue of Mercury was found in a cult place outside the settlement; inside, the
torso of a Jupiter was found. During Late Imperial times a natural cave in the
side of the Halberg was enlarged for the Mithras cult.
Extensive fire damage followed a raid by Germanic tribes, probably
at the end of the 3d c. A.D.; the houses were rebuilt. In a second raid ca. 350
the villa was destroyed. In that area a small castellum with a polygonal ground
plan (77 x 93 m) was built as part of the reorganization under Valentinianus.
The land side had four round towers. Within the settlement and on the outskirts
necropoleis contained graves with both inhumations and cremations. From the late
period date ceramics of the Mayen type and a coin of Honorius (392-395). The construction
of the aqueduct is of special interest.
