Grave of Aphrodite Priestess Found in Southern Russia



 From the article: 
"About 1,900 years ago, a woman died and was buried in Phanagoria . . .and she was a priestess of the Aphrodite cult, the archaeologists excavating the ancient city concluded.  Her adornments included a silver medallion showing the goddess and signs of the zodiac, minus Aquarius and Libra. 'The images of the zodiac signs around the goddess also point to the fact that this is indeed Aphrodite Urania, as they emphasize her heavenly hypostasis'."
