Another Roman-era surprise: Nearly 2,000-year-old Eros head discovered

Another Roman-era discovery has emerged at Pompeipolis, where archaeologists found an Eros head dating to the second half of the second century AD.

Culture and Tourism Minister Mehmet Nuri Ersoy said excavations at the ancient city in Taşköprü, Kastamonu, also revealed a geometric floor mosaic dating to the fourth century AD. The mosaic covers about 105 square metres and remains in notably good condition.

Ersoy said archaeologists have not yet fully uncovered the mosaic pavement in the central nave. The Eros head was found during work carried out in 2026.
