Trojan relief figuring the God of River

This fragment from a statue representing the god of river was found in the archaeological site of Troy, in the South of Turkey. From the 1st century Troy became Ilium and a bishopric of the Roman province of Hellespontus. As in the rest of the Roman empire, Roman culture grew and blended with the local one. The Roman period was synonym of prosperity for the city, until the establishment of Constantinople.这件代表河神的雕像残件出土于土耳其南部的特洛伊考古遗址。公元1世纪起，特洛伊更名为伊利乌姆（Ilium），成为罗马赫勒斯滂行省的主教辖区。与罗马帝国其他地区一样，罗马文化在此蓬勃发展，并与当地本土文化相互交融。在君士坦丁堡建立之前，罗马时代始终是这座城市繁荣兴盛的代名词。
