Archaeological and epigraphical sources for the cult to Aesculapius and Hygia in the army hospital at Novae
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The inner courtyard of the army hospital (valetudinarium)) of the I Italica legion in Novae was a cult place of Aesculapius and Hygia, that is an Asklepieion. Here rites were celebrated on behalf of the entire legion, which is attested to by two pedestals of silver statues of Aesculapius and Hygia erected as votiveofferings. Altars of healing deities, raised by officers of the legion as well as by physicians, indicate that it was also a site of private worship for patients and staff of the hospital. The sanctuary of Aesculapius had been built in tandem with construction of the valetudinarium on the eve of the Trajan 's Dacian Wars and was remodeled between AD 156 and 158. The center of worship ceased to operate, alongside with the whole hospital, during great Barbarian onslaughts upon the Balkans in the third quarter of the 3rd century AD. After the incursionsstopped, an attempt was made to restore the sanctuary of Aesculapius. A coin of Claudius II Gothicus was found in its plaster. However, the restoration was given up, the sanctuary walls were dismantled, the altar standing in front of it demolished and the area leveled. Different civilian buildings were erected in the place of the Asklepieio

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
