Is this a case of Turkish “political correctness” run amuck?
We are told the basilica is from “early Roman” times, but NOT any dates estimate.
Well, “early Roman” suggests pagan times, but then which god?
On the other hand, “basilica” suggests Christian, but that must mean “late Roman”, not early.
So what are these people hoping to conceal?
Basilicas were all purpose Roman public buildings, often hosting the law courts. When Christians began worshiping in basilicas, the design became associated with Christian churches.
