From the Roman fort of Apsaros, archaeologists have found a small, golden votive plaque dedicated to Jupiter Dolichenus, a deity with deep roots in the Roman military, though the true origins were in the Eastern provinces! An example of Roman military practices of the soldiers on the Empire’s eastern borders nearly two millennia ago, the fort has been an archaeological hotspot since 2014. The archaeologists from a joint Polish-Georgian team are led by Dr. Radosław Karasiewicz-Szczypiorski of the University of Warsaw and Dr. Lasha Aslanishvili of the Agency for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Adjara, as per a press announcement by The Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology, University of Warsaw.
