Turkish Cypriot daily Star Kibris reports that the excavations at occupied Salamina, conducted by Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU) and Ankara University (AU), have been completed for this year.
Professor Dr. Coskun Ozgunel, from AU Language, History and Geography School, speaking in an Ankara Anatolia correspondent said that this year excavations were extended to the north and west of the Roman Bath in order to unearth the west lines of the room which must have been the Frigidarium.
As a result of the excavations on the west wall, niches were found where possibly there were sculptures. Further excavation revealed the statues of a man and a woman, which are believed to be Hades and his wife Persephone.
