Pompey had barely set foot on Egyptian shores when Ptolemy had him killed and decapitated in a doomed attempt to curry favor with Caesar. According to Lucan, Pompey wanted to go to Parthia, but was browbeaten by Lucius Cornelius Lentulus into going to Egypt instead and securing the aid of boy king Ptolemy XIII. The topic of discussion was whether Pompey should go to Egypt or Parthia to seek sanctuary and support against Caesar. The epic poet Lucan and the historian Florus mention his stop-over in Syedra, “on a lonely rock in Cilicia,” where he met with the handful of senators who still stuck by him after he was defeated by Julius Caesar in the Battle of Pharsalus. Syedra was founded by Greek colonists in the 7th century B.C., but first makes an appearance in written records in the 1st century as the location of Pompey’s final war council in 48 B.C. This design is typical of the caldarium (the hot room) in other baths. It fills a rectangular room with a semicircular recess at one end like an apse.
#12 LABOURS OF HERCULES 5 WALKTHROUGH FULL#
The excavation resumed in late 2020 and the full extent of the mosaic revealed, 26 feet in width and 72 feet in length. The mosaic was first unearthed in 2019, but the excavation was not completed at that time and the art work was reburied for its protection. The sections that remain are in good condition. Every one of Hercules’ contests against an assortment of man-eating creatures and enormous quantities of cow manure get a scene in the mosaic, although some parts were destroyed in antiquity. and is unique for the life-sized dimensions of the human figures. Archaeologists have discovered a 1,765-square-foot floor mosaic depicting the 12 Labours of Hercules in the Roman baths of the ancient city of Syedra on the southern coast of Turkey.
