Excavators recently uncovered an ornate Roman mosaic at an archaeological site<\/a> in Turkey, near where the Apostle Paul helped spread Christianity beyond the Levant.<\/p>\n

The mosaic was found at Aspendos, an ancient city about 25 miles east of Antalya in southern Turkey<\/a>, the country’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced in June.<\/p>\n

It was discovered on Theater Street in Aspendos, which connects the city’s acropolis \u2014 or citadel \u2014 with its theater.<\/p>\n

Aspendos lies just miles from Perga, the biblical city mentioned in Acts 13:13 and 14:25 where the Apostle Paul<\/a> traveled during his first missionary journey.<\/p>\n

Pictures of the mosaic show a depiction of the youthful river god Eurymedon, framed by geometric patterns and aquatic imagery.<\/p>\n

Officials said the god is “depicted holding and wearing reed leaves.”<\/p>\n

“He leans against an amphora from which water flows, symbolizing nature’s abundance and the life-giving power of water,” the translated statement said.<\/p>\n

Archaeologists believe the pagan mosaic once formed the floor of a pool built in the early 3rd century A.D.<\/p>\n

The mosaic floor covers roughly 20 by 25 feet and “is believed to continue into areas that have not yet been excavated,” officials said.<\/p>\n

“Researchers believe the structure was subdivided into separate rooms following the 262 A.D. earthquake.”<\/p>\n

Depictions of the river god Eurymedon are exceptionally unusual in ancient mosaics, according to Turkish officials.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The god is “represented by only a limited number of known examples,” said the statement.<\/p>\n

“It is also especially significant because depictions of river gods are extremely rare in mosaic art,” Ersoy said in the release.<\/p>\n

“This discovery not only reveals the artistic richness of Aspendos, but also provides important scientific data on Roman-period Anatolian mosaic art.”<\/p>\n

The discovery is one of many archaeological finds in Turkey, which has become a hotbed for discoveries tied to the ancient Roman and early Christian worlds.<\/p>\n

This summer, archaeologists unveiled a rare 1,700-year-old Aramaic inscription at a temple in Turkey, offering new evidence of Christianity’s rise<\/a> over the mysterious cult Mithraism.<\/p>\n

Last fall, excavators uncovered a Roman military hospital that was later converted into a Christian sanctuary<\/a> in the ancient Turkish city of Kaunos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
