Ancient Greek mosaics dating back to the 2nd century BC discovered in Zevgma (Turkey), showcase remarkable craftsmanship and provide insight into the cultural richness of the Eastern Roman Empire.

The details of the story
archeologist under the guidance of Professor Kutalmys Gorkay from Ankara University, three stunning ancient Greek mosaics have been unearthed in Zevgma, near the border between Turkey and Syria. These mosaics, dating back to the 2nd century BC, are a vivid testament to the artistic finesse and cultural viability of the region in ancient times.
Zevgma, founded by Seleuc I Nicator in the 3rd century BC, was strategically located near the Euphrates River, making it a vital hub for trade and cultural exchange. Under Roman rule, it flourished as one of the most significant shopping centers in the Eastern Roman Empire, facilitating the movement of goods, ideas and works of art.
The discovered mosaics depict complex patterns, mythological scenes, and perhaps elements of everyday life, illustrating the fusion of Greek and Roman artistic traditions. These masterpieces provide invaluable information about aesthetic preferences, social customs and economic prosperity of that era.
The archaeological significance of Zevgma has increased in recent decades, especially in light of rescue excavations aimed at preserving its treasures from the waters of the Birejik Dam. Today, these mosaics not only enrich our understanding of the past, but also emphasize the region's enduring historical and cultural heritage.
