1. Title: "Bilecik Fountain: A Roman Sarcophagus Reclaimed as a Public Water Supply in the Heart of Eskisehir, Turkey" 2. Description: This evocative photograph captures the historic Bilecik Fountain, located in the bustling marketplace of Eskisehir, Turkey. The fountain, a re-purposed Roman sarcophagus, stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural fusion that characterizes this ancient land. The sarcophagus, adorned with intricate carvings of mythological figures and scenes from Roman mythology, once held the remains of a noble family. However, as time passed, it was repurposed as a public water supply, transforming into a fountain that quenched the thirst of travelers and locals alike. 3. Context: The marketplace of Eskisehir, a vibrant hub of commerce and culture, is home to numerous historical relics, each with its unique story. The Bilecik Fountain, with its striking presence, is a popular attraction for tourists and locals alike. The trough, once a coffin, now serves as a water collection point, providing a refreshing respite from the heat and dust of the marketplace. 4. History: The Roman sarcophagus, believed to date back to the 3rd or 4th century AD, was discovered during excavations in the late 19th century. Its intricate carvings and historical significance made it a valuable addition to the city's heritage. However, rather than being hidden away in a museum, the sarcophagus was repurposed as a public fountain, allowing it to continue serving the community in a practical and meaningful way. 5. Conclusion: The Bilecik Fountain is a unique blend of history and functionality, a testament to the enduring spirit of the people of Eskisehir. This photograph captures the essence of this historic site, inviting viewers to imagine the stories that lie beneath the surface of this ancient relic. The water cascading from the sarcophagus's mouth serves as a reminder of the life-giving force of water and the enduring power of human ingenuity.
