The three excavation campaigns covered in this interim report were concentrated on the front and rear parts of the legionary fortress at Novae, where in the last years an intensive destruction activity of local treasure hunters took place. Some of the robber pits left by this clandestine excavation were replaced by a series of regular rescue trenches in order to record the exposed architectural remains. New information on the street-grid and plan of the legionary buildings in the praetentura and retentura of the fortress has been obtained.

This is the first publication of nine inscriptions from the 1998-2002 excavations of the valetudinarium at Novae. They came, however, from different parts of the fortress of the legion 'I Italica', and a funerary monument no. 9 stood originally outside the fortifications. In each case the edition of the text is followed by an analysis of the material and technique. These inscriptions include: 1) dedication of a tempel to Sol Invictus (?) by Elagabalus, 2) inscription on rebuilding of a structure (most likely a fountain or a temple) by two legionary veterans ('imaginifer' and 'custos armorum'), 3) fragment of an inscription from a large building of Trajan's time dedicated by the province legate and the legionary legate, 4) small fragment with the name of Septimius Severus (?), 5) fragment of a monumental inscription, 6) altar for Genius centuriae of the 'princeps legionis', 7) altar for Jupiter and Diana Bu( ) erected by a veteran of the legion 'I Italica', 8) altar dedicated by a 'tesserarius', 9) tomb stone of Charagonia Arche, possibly a female descendant of a freedman Publius Caragonius Philopalaestrus, known from another inscription from Novae.

This interim report covers three excavation campaigns (2000-2002) within the headquarters building (principia) in the central part of the Roman legionary fortress at Novae on the Lower Danube (Northern Bulgaria). Excavation was concentrated on the courtyard, the crosshall and the rear range of administrative rooms. The last stratigraphic observations made in Room Cz with a loess pit preceding construction works on the principia confirm the Flavian date of the building. To judge by the stratigraphy in the crosshall and by three statue pedestals of AD 430-432 the building was destroyed and went out of use in the forties of the 5th century. New details are added to the plan of Rooms Ez1-3, the corridors Dw and Dz and both short sides of the crosshall.
