  • Subiect: „This article aims to bring to your attention a new column attic base. The piece was reported in the courtyard of a family from Veţel, Hunedoara County and is part of a series of monuments recently identified, due to a local community awareness program, initiated by the research team of the Micia site. The architectural element made of soft oolitic limestone, in which many shells of marine molluscs can be observed, is kept in a relatively good condition. Analyzing the appearance and proportions of this column base we can deduce that it was made in accordance with the canons of the time and in accordance with the principles issued by Vitruvius. Even if we do not know the location and nature of the building of which it was part, its characteristics indicate the presence of an elegant building, of appreciable dimensions made according to the canons specific to classical architecture. The numerous colonnade elements discovered at Micia attest here the development of an architecture specific to the urban centers of Dacia, the Attic column base exposed on this occasion being an additional argument regarding the increased level of development of the pagus on the Mureş Valley.”
