It is wonderful to hear that excavations in Stratonikea are still an ongoing business. The last report I was aware of dates from
January 2012, when a huge Hellenistic bust of a king was unearthed.
Most recently, archaeologists have uncovered
three big Roman Baths, one of which seems to be reserved for women. They have
used a unique technique which enable to create a 3D image of these baths.
Last year, I had to miss a visit to Stratonikea,
but it seems that was for the best, for who knows how much more future
excavations will reveal, since many structures in the ancient city have survived
as a whole.
