Archaeological discoveries in Turkey

Overview

Archaeological developments regarding ancient sites named after Hadrian have been reported in Turkey. In Bursa, excavations in the Orhaneli district uncovered the remains of the Roman city of Hadrianoi, established around 123 AD. Researchers identified a large monumental structure that may have functioned as a gymnasium or an agora.

In a separate development in the Eskipazar district of Karabük, restoration work was completed on 1,600-year-old mosaics within a palace complex at the Hadrianopolis Ancient City. The restoration of the ‘triclinium’ area involved stabilizing the structure and cleaning surfaces to reveal two previously undocumented motifs from the Early Byzantine period.
