Greco-Roman Necropolis From Northern Turkey Reveals a ‘Sarcophagi Avenue’!

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Roman necropolis area at the ancient city of Tios in Zonguldak, Turkey.

Excavations in a Greco-Roman period necropolis from the ancient city of Tios, in northern Turkey, marks the culmination of a three-year archaeological dig, aimed at significant revitalization of the area. So far, 96 sarcophagi, 23 chamber tombs, seven cist graves, 60 tile graves, and 1,317 inventory items have been uncovered, with the archaeologists noting that Tios retains its unique status as the only ancient city in the Black Sea region that remains unencumbered by modern settlements!

Unparalleled Necropolis: A Planned Cemetery

Located in Zonguldak’s Filyos town within the Çaycuma district of northern Turkey, the dig has been spearheaded by Professor Şahin Yıldırım, chair of the department of art history at Bartin University. He’s been aided by a dedicated team of 44 individuals actively involved in the excavation process. Yıldırım emphasized the unprecedented nature of the necropolis area, unparalleled by any other ancient city in the region.

He explains in a quote from Daily Sabah:

“In the initial work done in this area, which we can also call the eastern necropolis of Tios, we encountered a vast necropolis area stretching from the late fifth century BC to the fifth century AD. The primary identity of this necropolis in the city dates back to the first and third centuries AD, that is, to the Roman period. We see that this area was constructed as a planned cemetery. The word necropolis means ‘city of the dead.’ We have seen that the cemetery here was created with a structure consisting of streets, alleys and terraces, just like a city.”
