Historical artifacts from the Roman period, which had gone missing after their initial discovery, have been found during field research in an ancient city in southeastern Türkiye.

Pottery, columns, relics, and various architectural pieces found in the ancient city of Perre in Adiyaman province have been put on display.

Adiyaman Museum Director Mehmet Alkan told Anadolu that the artifacts were discovered during field research 1 kilometers (0.62 miles) south of the ancient city.

"Previously, it was reported that these pieces were unearthed next to the Roman fountain of Perre in 1980. We brought these artifacts back to Perre after 40 years, making them ready for visitors."

According to Alkan, these architectural pieces are approximately 1,800 years old.
