This was reached by a passage that communicated with the building\u2019s only entrance, open in the southern fa\u00e7ade. The date provided by the ceramic material recovered confirmed that the building belonged to the latest phase of occupation of the settlement, in the Late Roman Republican Period.<\/p>\n<p>The work revealed that the structure had been heavily affected by farming work in the field in recent times and some of the walls that divided up the complex have not survived. Despite the poor condition of the remains, carbon was found which could have been part of the door latch.<\/p>\n<p>Two surveys performed in the interior of the building showed that it had been looted in ancient times, probably to recover some of the stones from the north and west walls.<\/p>\n<p>Its large size make this building an important one in the settlement\u2019s complex of buildings. According to documentary sources, a building of these characteristics could have been the <em>praetorium<\/em>, or residence of the Roman camp\u2019s Commander, or the <em>principia<\/em>, or administrative building. In the case of Puig Ciutat, this building could have fulfilled both functions.<\/p>\n\n\t<div class=\"slideshow_container slideshow_container_style-light\" data-slideshow-id=\"1097\" data-style-name=\"style-light\" data-style-version=\"2.5.20\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"slideshow_loading_icon\"><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"slideshow_content\" style=\"display: none;\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"slideshow_view\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slideshow_slide slideshow_slide_image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/www.puigciutat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Sectors-edifici-11.jpg\" alt=\"[left] Drawing of the structures located superimposed on the ground-penetrating radar data.
