Marble Statue of Athena Discovered at Ancient Laodicea

Archaeologists in Turkey have unearthed a remarkable two-meter-tall white marble statue of the Greek goddess Athena during ongoing excavations at the ancient city of Laodicea. Discovered lying face down in the rubble of the city’s Western Theater, this magnificent sculpture offers new insights into the artistic and cultural prominence of the region during antiquity. The find was officially announced by Mehmet Nuri Ersoy, Turkey’s Minister of Culture and Tourism, highlighting its significance for the archaeological community.
A Theatrical Masterpiece
The impressive statue, which dates back to the reign of the Roman Emperor Augustus (27 BC – 14 AD), was found in the stage building of the theater, an area known as the postskene. While the head of the goddess has not yet been located, the surviving body exhibits exceptional craftsmanship. Athena is depicted standing on a round base, draped in a finely woven sleeveless peplos and a cloak around her neck. Her chest is protected by an aegis adorned with the head of Medusa and intricately detailed serpents.
