Ancient Zeugma to get protection with roof

The Secret Treasures of Zeugma

"Zeugma was founded by one of Alexander the Great’s generals, Seleucia Nicator, and prospered under later Roman rule. It became one of the major cities of the Roman eastern frontier with a garrison of over 6,000 soldiers. The city’s bridge across the Euphrates made it one of the most critical trading cities in the region, on the silk routes to the East.

Previously looted exquisite mosaics have hinted at the treasures of its past that must be buried somewhere in the vast site."
