Mehmet Ali Kocabaş, Stephen Mitchell, and Philipp Niewöhner. "Filling in a Gap: Roman Votives and Gravestones as well as Early Byzantine Churches at Tavşanlı in Phrygia," Anatolia Antiqua 31 (2023).

The rural town of Tavşanlı in north-western Phrygia does not appear to have ancient roots, the area may once have belonged to the Roman city of Aezani, and finds from Tavşanlı have long been discredited as originally belonging to Aezani. However, this article presents new finds from Tavşanlı and its vicinity that are undoubtedly of local origin and attest to considerable ancient settlement activity. The finds include a dozen Roman votives and gravestones as well as two dozen early Byzantine stone carvings, most or all of which belonged to churches. Overall, the find spectrum is similar to other parts of rural Phrygia, Tavşanlı appears to have produced its fair share of antiquities, and the area should not be considered an anomaly anymore.
