Abstract
Bodrum ilçesine bağlı Torba köyünde 2000 yılında yapılan kazılar sırasında Geç Roma Çağına tarihlenen taşınır ve taşınmaz eserler ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Tapınak-Şapel, Rahipler evi, Büyük Kilise, Hamam ve Sarnıç gibi taşınmaz eserler içinde yapılan kazı çalışmalarında, tahrip edilmiş alanlar dışında kaliteli mozaiklerle döşenmiş tabanlara rastlanmıştır. Mozaikler genel olarak MS. V-VII yüzyıllara tarihlenen motifler içermektedir. Tessera büyüklükleri ve sayıları da bu yüzyılların özelliklerini taşımaktadır. Özel sektör elindeki bu külliye ne yazık ki korunamamakta ve her geçen gün biraz daha tahrip olmaktadır.
The village of Torba is located in the North-east of the Bodrum Peninsula, and the complex of the Early Byzantine structure to be discussed is located at the east end of Torba. The complex of early Byzantine structures (monastery) at Torba consists of a small harbour with the breakwater, a small temple and mausoleum (later chapel), Monk house, which had more than one storey, bath building, a large basilica and a large cistern. The walls of monk house and the basilica in particular are very poorly preserved, because of the terrible earthquake on August 8th, 1304. But all five structures have remains of mosaic floors.
