Roman 'cold plunge' pool, floor mosaic discovered in ancient Turkish gymnasium complex
Cekilmez explained to Andalou Agency that the Hamam Gymnasium complex is thought to have been an important educational institution where children were able to learn from an early age.
Archaeologists in Turkey have unearthed a remarkable 2,000-year-old Roman hall adorned with a stunning floor mosaic of a hippocampus, a mythical sea creature associated with Poseidon. The discovery was made at the ancient city of Tralleis, situated in Aydin province, during excavations led by Professor Dr. Murat Çekilmez of Aydin Adnan Menderes University. The hall, believed to have been used during the Roman Imperial period, reveals insights into daily life and mythology of the era.
