Turkey to dig up Roman legionary base
(MENAFN) Archaeological excavation has begun at the site of a Roman legionary base in the ancient city of Satala in Gumushane, northeast Turkey.
"This is the first time a Roman legionary fortress is being excavated in Anatolia," Sahin Yildirim, an archaeologist at Bartin University, told Anadolu Agency on Thursday.
"We plan to find out about the functioning, tactical perceptions, weapons of a Roman legion as well as many other important things," said Yildirim, who co-leads the 25-strong excavation team alongside Bernard Van Daele from the Leuven University Department of Archeology in Belgium.
The legionary fortress of Satala, east of modern-day Sadak, is one of the four legionary bases in Turkey.
