Abstract
Preparations are underway for a structure in the Gerenkuyu Locality of Yalı neighbourhood in Bodrum district to be restored. The building was first identified as a church of Late Antiquity and registered as cultural property. It features a figural floor mosaic with a pair of leopards jumping onto a crater. Later publications identified it as a bathhouse of the Early Byzantine period. However, during the cleaning work carried out in late 2018 as preparation for a restoration project, new details have been uncovered bringing out the necessity of revising the structure’s function. The author’s proposal for the structure’s function is a countryside residence of a squire from the Early Byzantine period.
