guy Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 Archaeologists in Aspendos (Antalya, Turkey) uncovered a rare Roman mosaic depicting Eurymedon, the personified river god of the ancient Eurymedon (modern Köprüçay). The mosaic dates from AD 200-250 and was exceptionally preserved. The high‑quality Roman mosaic shows a young Eurymedon, a youthful river god—an unusually local and specific depiction in Anatolian mosaic art. River gods appear in Greco‑Roman art, but local, identifiable river deities in mosaics are rare—making this depiction important. https://www.turkiyetoday.com/culture/rare-river-god-mosaic-uncovered-in-turkiyes-ancient-city-of-aspendos-3222205 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
