More about Stratonikeia

It is wonderful to hear that excavations in Stratonikeai 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 to 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 Stratonikeia, 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.
