Discoveries from the 4th century: A fragment of ancient Rome in Memaliaj
Ancient mosaic discovered in Memaliaj

Archaeological excavations in the village of Qesarat in the Memaliaj Municipality have brought to light another mosaic from the ancient period, reinforcing the discoveries of previous years and the belief that this area constitutes an important archaeological asset.

During recent works, in the ruins of a large building complex, thought to date back to the 4th century and the period of the Roman Empire, archaeologists have discovered several floors decorated with geometric motifs, human figures, as well as fragments of mural paintings.

Discoveries in this area are not new. Since 1936, various archaeological elements have been identified in Qesarat, including baking ovens, traces of residential areas, ceramics, sculptures, and mosaics.

One of the mosaics was accidentally discovered in the 1980s, during the clearing of agricultural land. But it was covered up again and, unfortunately, no photographic documentation or precise data on its location remained.

According to archaeologist Eduart Shehi, the Vjosa Valley is a rare asset of our country, so in light of this fact, the idea of ​​how to continue the administration of this territory, to make this area visitable, takes on great importance.

For Italian archaeologist Silvio Fiorrelli, the data so far indicate that in this territory we may be dealing with a Roman settlement of considerable extent.

Excavations in Qesarat are currently focused on only one sector, but discoveries from previous years, recorded in different areas, indicate that the extent of this settlement may be much larger.

The name Qesarat itself is thought to be related to an early toponym of the area, while the possible surface area of ​​the settlement remains to be determined by archaeological research.

Under the soil of Qesarat, according to archaeologists, an important part of the history of this area may still be hidden, which requires excavations, documentation, and a sustainable project for its preservation and return to a visitable destination.
