Bithynia et Pontus
The Kuşkayası road monument is a unique structure in Turkey. It was built by Gaius Julius Aquila, procurator of Bithynia et Pontus, in honor of Roman Emperor Tiberius Claudius Germanicus (AD 41–54). The monument includes a statue of a now headless human figure, the Roman eagle (also headless) and a bilingual inscription, all carved into the mountain. The human figure may represent either the Emperor or the Governor. In the original monument there was also a fountain (which no longer exists).
