Days after prominent Bulgarian archaeologist Georgi Kitov found a gold royal mask and other precious artefacts, Polish archaeologist Andrzej Biernacki unearthed a unique Roman pool in the ancient Roman town of Novae, near Svishtov.

The pool has a gate, which had once been decorated with statues. Water poured through the gate on to the pool, Focus news agency reported.

Previously, only one facility like this had been found, in Northern Africa.

The Roman mineral baths in Novae covered 7500 sq m and could turn out to be the biggest found in Bulgaria, Focus said.

Archaeologists suppose that the baths were built for the Roman legions that were based in Novae in the second century.
