Ancient Pendant Found at Hadrianopolis
Pendant Dated Back to the Third Century B.C.
Discovery Sheds Light on the History of Ancient City
Archaeologists have discovered an ancient pendant at the site of Hadrianopolis, an ancient city located in present-day Turkey. The pendant, which is made of gold and depicts the Greek goddess Athena, is believed to date back to the third century B.C.
The discovery of the pendant is significant because it provides new evidence about the history of Hadrianopolis. The city was founded by the Roman emperor Hadrian in the second century A.D., but it is believed that the site was inhabited long before that.
The pendant is currently being studied by archaeologists at the University of Istanbul. They believe that the pendant was worn by a wealthy woman, possibly a priestess of Athena. The pendant is a valuable addition to our understanding of the history of Hadrianopolis and the role of women in ancient society.
