Within the scope of conservation studies, efforts are being made to bring the 1,600-year-old mosaics unearthed during the excavations in the ancient city of Stratonikeia, one of the largest marble cities in the world, into tourism.

Some 65 Byzantine-era tombs have been unearthed in the most recent archaeological excavations in the ancient city of Stratonikeia, known as the city of gladiators in the western province of Muğla's Yatağan district.

A total of 12 gladiator graves uncovered in the western ancient city of Stratonikeia have been put on display at the entrance of the city in the Mu?la province, located in western Turkey. 

The head of the Stratonikeia's excavations, Prof. Bilal Sö?üt, told reporters that Stratonikeia was known as the "city of love and gladiators."
