Residents in Turkey's Amasra district in the northern province of Bartın were surprised to find the beach along the coast littered with artefacts that were washed up from the Black Sea during a recent storm. The objects looked to be part of pillars and other building material typical of the Roman era.

According to Hurriyet Daily News, locals found the ruins lying among the rocks on the beach and contacted the Amasra Museum Directorate.
