Some of the buildings seem to be private dwellings, but at least one can be identified as a basilica. Part of a building in Eskiçeşme, near the<br/>harbour of Bodrum, seems to belong to a private dwelling. Besides more rooms grouped around two yards, the building includes two rooms with unique floor<br/>mosaics of which one depicts a Nilotic scene, one of the first examples of this motif to survive from western Asia Minor. Such Nilescapes had a revival in the<br/>provinces of the Near East during Late Antiquity, to which period these pavements presumably belong as well.enArchaeologyGeologyVisual artsArtGeographyComputer graphics (images)article
