Roman House at Bahig

Current excavations at Kom Bahig document occupation from the seventh century BCE and substantial Ptolemaic buildings, including evidence for a probable sanctuary. The reviewed project summaries do not securely establish a separately visitable monument called the Roman House at Bahig. This record should therefore remain provisional until a specific excavation context and date for the claimed house are identified. Visitor planning: Knowledge-layer or research-oriented record. Do not route ordinary tourists here unless current public access is separately confirmed. This record is connected to Kom Bahig Archaeological Site. Parent-site context: Kom Bahig is a multi-period Mareotic settlement with Late Period occupation beneath substantial Ptolemaic buildings and a probable long-lived sanctuary. Kom Bahig lies about 50 km west of Alexandria in the Mareotis region. Excavations since 2016 have revealed occupation levels dating back to the seventh century BCE, followed by substantial Ptolemaic mud-brick and limestone buildings. A paved dromos and associated remains probably belong to a sanctuary that continued until the end of the Ptolemaic period. The site should not be described simply as a third-century-BCE Greco-Roman town or as containing a confirmed Roman theatre without specific evidence. Visitor planning: Knowledge-layer or research-oriented record. Do not route ordinary tourists here unless current public access is separately confirmed.
