"This is the tomb of the dog, Stephanos, who perished. Whom Rhodope shed tears for and buried like a human.

I am the dog Stephanos, and Rhodope set up a tomb for me"

This piece is a tribute to two members of the ancient world, who lived in the Greek city of Termessos in modern day Turkey. We know about them today as Stephanos, a dog, had a tomb dedicated to him by his owner, Rhodope, who was also laid to rest nearby. As far as I can research, we don't know the exact details of when they lived, or much about their lives, except that Rhodope wanted us to know how much Stephanos meant to her.

His tomb was found near Rhodope’s own inscribed sarcophagus, which states that she set up the tomb completely and exclusively for herself. This suggests she was a single, independent wealthy woman.

Stephanos' remains are lost to time, but based on the size, and his role as a lady's companion dog, it is likely he was a melitan breed. This breed was a small, spitz-type dog that was incredibly popular in antiquity.

Nice that for once it isn't an economic document. Not so nice that it's about a catastrophe.

A well-preserved mosaic from the temple of Apollo

This mosaic is the original from the temple of Apollo at the Ancient Letoon, a religious Anatolian complex devoted to Leto and Her children - patron Gods of Lycia. Letoon is considered to have been around before the Hellenic influence in the region, though over time it has become a place of mixing of many cultures and eras.

The mosaic, for example, dates back to around 400 BCE when the temple to Apollo within the Letoon complex was built by King Erbinna, a Lycian ruler. The solar symbol in the middle is believed to symbolize Lycia, the land of the Sun. The quiver of arrows and the lyre are for Apollo as well.

Currently, the original is at the museum in Fethiye, Turkey. The mosaic presented at the site is a modern replica created after the original was removed.

Changing time and place with a single step

Changing time and place with a single step

When you step under and then through the Babylonian Ishtar Gate in the Pergamon Museum, you step under and out of the market gate of Miletus in Turkey. The gate was constructed in the second century of the Common Era, most likely under the reign of Emperor Hadrian (famous for his across Great Britain). The gate suffered earthquake damage on at least two occasions when in its original location.…

Apollo statuette and bust found in Ancient Claros, Anatolia, on display in Turkey's Izmir

Claros, alongside Didyma and some other Anatolian cities, was a prominent point of Apollonian worship and oracular work. The city's oracular Apollo had distinct and direct connection to springs, rivers, and caves.

The bust is approximately 2,000 years old, the terracotta statuette - 2,500 years old, and the basalt seal is around 2,800 years old.

The findings were on display at Izmir Archaeological Museum, Izmir, western Turkey, in 2022
