Culture and Tourism Minister Mehmet Nuri Ersoy announced that a 300-meter section of the approximately 2,000-year-old Theater Street was unearthed during excavations at the ancient city of Aspendos. The excavations also brought to light monumental structures, statues, mosaics, and artifacts shedding light on trade history.
In his post, Minister Ersoy said, "Visitors will now be able to follow the traces of the millennia-old city step by step along this historic route stretching from the ancient theater to the acropolis."
Minister Ersoy emphasized that the shops, bakery, monumental east gate, statues of Hermes, Artemis, Aphrodite, Eros and Nemesis, and the Young Eurymedon Mosaic uncovered along the street open a new window into Aspendos' rich history. He noted that the Phoenician coin and glass artifacts found during the excavations also reveal Aspendos' important position in the powerful trade networks of the Eastern Mediterranean.
