Archaeologists have uncovered a suspected ancient Roman military structure at Hasankeyf in southwest Turkey.

In Roman times, Hasankeyf, Turkey (known as Kepha), served as a legionary base on the frontier with the Sassanian Empire. Although historical records suggest a Roman military structure in the city, there was no documented proof of its existence. Constantius II, who ruled from AD 337 to 361, is credited with building the fort at Kepha. It is unknown whether this was the site mentioned in the historical records.
