Dating back to the second century AD, this Romancomplexwas constructed by Septimius Severus.Its part to the lefthandside, whichyou do not seein the photo, was later converted into a synagogue in the third century AD.

Wow, what I see in your photo is much better in terms of physical shape than most Roman ruins I've seen. It's pretty obviousthere aremany more places I needto get out andsee. Nice image.
One of my co-workers just returned from a 16 daytrip where he spent most if the time inInstanbul. He's avoided me this week because he knows the first thing I'll ask is when I can see his pictures... |

Not what I expected to see in a Roman ruin. Your capture in this photo is as poetic as your words Bahadir. Thanks for sharing.

Dear Jim,I am utterly delighted byyourkind favour for the plainwords by which Ihave beenscarcely able to express my impressions in front of eternal qualities wecan share. Still, I find the bestnarrationfor this edifice I shot, for example, which reminds me of the lives and dreams of my distant forefathers andmy existanceas the last of Trojans here, insome stanzas written in blank verse by Poe:
Here, where a hero fell, a column falls! Here, where the mimic eagle glared in gold, A midnight vigil holds the swarthy bat! Here, where the dames of Rome their gilded hair Waved the wind, now wave the reed and thisle! ... |

I found some very interesting websites on these ruins which showed this building from a few different angles, and it looks unbelievably modern and intact given it's age. The artistic and engineering acheivements of the people that built these incredible places so long ago never ceases to astonish me. I can't imagine what it must be like to be in such close touch with history as you are, Bahadir, and to have such an incredibly insightful appreciation of it is something I can only dream of. Keep 'em coming, my friend.
