I was interested in trying to see the mosaics found at Hadrianopolis mentioned in the Christian Today article. It looks like the article is a few years behind! The mosaics were described in September and November 2014 articles in Hurriyet. Pictures accompany each, and you can see the Greek labels for the four rivers of Eden.

Mark – I'm sorry I goofed on this one. Thanks for letting me know.
Hi, Todd! No goof. The article did have info that neither of the Hurriyet ones did. And it's still not clear to me whether the church is open to the public.
