An eight-inch-high figurine of the Greek god Pan, a symbol of fertility that is thought to be some 1,700 years old, was found by Turkish authorities during an excavation at the ancient Byzantine church of St. Polyeuctos in Istanbul. Dating from the year 527, the church’s remains are in the Saraçhane Archaeology Park in the city’s center.
