A granary belonging to the episcopal centre of the period was unearthed during the ongoing excavations in the ancient city of Sebaste in Uşak, founded by Augustus, the first emperor of Rome.
The excavations at the ancient city of Sebaste in the town of Selçikler in Sivaslı district of Uşak, which resumed last year after a 44-year break, are being carried out under the direction of Uşak Archaeological Museum.
