Kuşkayası Road Monument

Monument / Amasra, Turkiye, Black Sea, Bartın


Kuşkayası Road Monument

It was built on the Amasra-Bartın highway, 4 km from Amasra, by Gaius Julius Aquila on behalf of the Roman Emperor Tiberius Germanicus Claudius. It was built between 41-54 years. The monument, which is known to be the only one in Anatolia, consists of a headless sculpture with a human figure carved into rocks, a Roman eagle figure symbolizing domination, and two inscriptions. In the inscriptions, there is the phrase "In the name of peace and friendship between states and in memory of the dominance of Emperor Germanicus, Gaius Julius split the mountain of Aquila and built this resting place with his own special allowance". The Kemerdere Bridge in the Cevizlik Valley can be reached 1 kilometer down the Roman Road that passes in front of the monument.
