English: On a site of the Centro di Conservazione Archaeologica one can read "A bronze statue of Mars, the Roman god of war, was found in the ancient city of Zeugma in the course of an excavation campaign in 1999-2000. The statue represents one of the most interesting and spectacular finds from this city on the banks of the Euphrates river in southern Anatolia. Conservation treatment of the statue offered academics and technicians a chance to study ancient working and casting techniques; at the same time it posed a technical challenge to repair the metal's serious condition of deterioration. The treatment involved the use of endoscopic studies, baths to stabilize the material, and scientific investigations of the casting earth." I have had the pleasure of seeing it often, first in the Archaeological Museum, where it was lit superbly and allowed for fine pictures, though from a distance, then in the same museum, but more randomly in a room with distracting mosaics around, then in the new Zeugma Mosaic Museum, where it was badly lit and put of a silly column. In 2020 I thought the light was a bit better. This picture if from the old situation in the Archaeological museum
