Stratonikeia Ancient City discovery of 1,900-year-old child footprints
Archaeologists at the Stratonikeia Ancient City in the Yatağan district of Muğla have discovered footprints belonging to three children, dating back approximately 1,900 years.
The discovery was made during excavation work led by Prof. Dr. Bilal Söğüt, head of the Stratonikeia and Lagina Excavation Team. The team focused their efforts on the Roman Bath, specifically within the palaestra (sports area), the apodytorium (changing room), and the frigidarium (cold room).
In addition to the footprints, researchers uncovered the bath's pools, surrounding niches, and architectural materials from the building's upper covering, which remains in the state it was in when it was destroyed in antiquity. Stratonikeia, known as one of the world's largest marble cities, is currently on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List.
