Alexandria: An Egyptian excavation mission uncovered a group of archaeological remains in Alexandria that provide new insight into the city's urban development across different historical periods. The work, carried out in the Moharram Bek area by the Supreme Council of Antiquities, revealed a continuous sequence of settlement from the Ptolemaic, Roman, and Byzantine eras. Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Sherif Fathy said the discovery adds to understanding Alexandria's role as a major historical and cultural center.

According to State Information Service Egypt, among the findings are a circular public bath from the late Ptolemaic period and parts of a Roman villa with mosaic floors, reflecting advanced design and living conditions. The site also includes water installations linked to the villa, showing developed systems for water use.

Archaeologists found statues believed to represent deities such as Bacchus, Asclepius, and Minerva, along with coins, pottery, lamps, and amphora fragments, indicating active trade and daily life in the ancient city.

Officials said that the discovery helps clarify the layout of ancient Alexandria, especially in areas that had limited research, with further excavation work expected to reveal more remains.
