Germanicia Mosaic Field Archaeological Site
In BCE 64, Kahramanmaraş was conquered by the Romans and renamed Kaiseria Germanicia, after Roman emperor Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus. Mosaics found in Germanicia are understood to belong to the Late Roman and Early Byzantine periods. These mosaics reflect the political, social, cultural, and economic values of the city during the period. Excavations begun in 2009 revealed a mosaic slab of 300 square metres. In 2018, the excavation was opened for tourism as an archaeological site.
