Professor Dr Sengul Aydingun said that even though there have been previous discoveries of separate writing utensils, the recent findings at Bathonea, an ancient Roman port town in Istanbul are unique because they comprise a set
Part of the writing set found in Bathonea excavations in Istanbul's Avcilar district, on the shores of Kucukcekmece Lake.
The writing set – including a miniature vessel, a bone dip pen, and an inkwell – is believed to have once belonged to a merchant. Close examination of the inkwell found traces of ancient red and black ink still present. Red ink was used exclusively by state officials and courtiers at that time, according to experts.
Aydingun said that the writing set was found in one of the small rooms in a building whose length was 25 metres and was divided into small chambers.
