Kuşkayası Monument, Rock relief monument near Amasra, Turkey.
The monument displays a 260-centimeter headless human figure and a Roman eagle carved into the mountainside, accompanied by Latin and Greek inscriptions.
The monument was constructed during the reign of Emperor Tiberius Claudius Germanicus between 41-54 AD by Gaius Julius Aquila, procurator of Bithynia et Pontus.
The bilingual inscriptions in Latin and Greek on the monument demonstrate the multicultural nature of Roman administration in ancient Anatolia.
Located 4 kilometers from Amasra at 350 meters above sea level, the monument can be accessed through a staircase leading from the D.010 road.
The monument originally featured a fountain system integrated into the rock face, marking it as both a commemorative structure and water source.
