Editor's Note
Claudiopolis Stadyumu, near Bolu Merkez, Bolu, is an ancient settlement — one more stratum in Anatolia's long archaeological record, where successive civilizations left their mark on the landscape.
Story
Claudiopolis Stadium, hidden in the central district of Bolu, is an important part of Anatolia's ancient history. Built during the Roman Empire, this structure was a social hub roughly two thousand years ago where the public watched sports, warriors displayed their skills, and the community came together. Today, the walls remaining from its stone foundations, the worn column capitals, and the period artifacts brought to light through archaeological excavations powerfully reflect the legacy of past civilizations. The stadium's acoustic quality is striking; ancient architects carefully calculated the spread of sound so that thousands of people could hear those speaking at the same time. History enthusiasts visiting this site are advised to come especially in the morning hours and to examine the partially opened excavation areas; the artifacts and fragments uncovered here convey the excitement of the archaeological work still underway.
