With its nearly 100.000 bulla (seal imprints in clay) excavated from Zeugma, The Gaziantep Museum is possessor of the largest bulla collection in the world.

Zeugma is an ancient city of Commagene; currently located in the Gaziantep Province of Turkey. It is a historical settlement which is considered among the four most important settlement areas under the reign of the kingdom of Commagene. It was named for the bridge of boats, or zeugma, which crossed the Euphrates there.
