In a remarkable discovery during the 2024 excavation season, a 2,000-year-old inscription has been unearthed in the ancient city of Anemurium, located in the Anamur district of Mersin, Türkiye. The inscription, found in the city’s Harbor Bath, honors a wrestler named “Kaikilianos,” who won a prestigious wrestling competition held every five years during the second century A.D.
As excavation efforts continue, the discoveries made at Anemurium will likely attract more cultural tourists to Mersin, further strengthening Türkiye’s reputation as a key destination for historical and archaeological tourism.
