An example of Roman military practices of the soldiers on the Empire’s eastern borders nearly two millennia ago, the fort has been an archaeological hotspot since 2014.</p>
<p>The archaeologists from a joint Polish-Georgian team are led by Dr. Rados?aw Karasiewicz-Szczypiorski of the University of Warsaw and Dr. Lasha Aslanishvili of the Agency for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Adjara, as per a press announcement by <a href="https://pcma.uw.edu.pl/en/2024/10/11/2024-season-apsaros/" rel="nofollow">
