University Diggings
In Seleucia Reveal
Inportance Of City
Seleucia, famous city on the Tigris
and former capital of the ancient
Macedonians and Parthians, located
some 20 miles south of the city of
Bagdad, will undoubtedly rank in ar-
chaeological importance with Ur. As-
sur. Ninevah and Babylon, former
capitals of this immense cultural cen-
ter, according to an article in the
last Quarterly Review of the Mich-
igan Alumnus by Prof. Clark Hopkins
of the Latin and Greek departments
and director of the University's ex-
cavations in that city.
Although the work has scarcely
begun, Professor Hopkins states in the
article that he believes tle Seleucia
excavations offer the greatest oppoi-
tunities ever presented to the archae-
ologists' spade. The diggings in Se-
leucia, Prof. Hopkins says, bring evi-
dence of the great trade routes to
India., China, south Russia and the
coast of the Mediterranean. Further,
he states, the finds of the expedition
give valuable information about the
almost unknown Parthians and the
forgotten Greeks of Asia, both of
whom made Seleucia their capital.
