Late-Roman Ruins and Pottery Uncovered at Antioch

The vessels may have been brought to the site by early Christian pilgrims who came to visit the Church of St. Peter

Newsroom October 30 11:53

According to an Anadolu Agency report, excavations in southern Turkey at the ancient city of Antioch have uncovered rooms and offering vessels dated to the Late Roman period.

Ayse Ersoy of the Hatay Archaeology Museum said the offering vessels may have been brought to the site by early Christian pilgrims who came to visit the Church of St. Peter, which was carved into the side of Mount Starius in the fourth or fifth century A.D., to fill them with holy water.
