| Comments: | From TAY database: 'A large amount of colored glass tesserae was uncovered on the floor. It indicates that the walls were covered with mosaics. The colored glass fragments found during the excavations also show that the building was decorated with stained glass (Erzen-Basaran 1993, 210; Basaran 1998a, 10).' TAY database accessed 9 Nov 2009. |
