A two-month excavation process will start next week in the ancient city of Soli Pompeipolis in Mersin’s Mezitli. Its goal is to unearth the rest of a Roman street, which was unearthed in previous years. During last year’s 37-day excavations, the ancient city was found to be a very active harbor in the 1st B.C. and 1st A.D., said Dokuz Eylül University Head of Museum Department Professor Remzi Yağcı, adding the work in 2013 unearthed the columned street and Roman stores in an architectural order.
