Guess the ancient city!

Recommended Posts

well Sagalassos is indeed being dug by a belgian led team, which rediscovered the city and started restauring it, bringing a new economic lung to that part of Turkey, but it's in no way a Belgian national treasure, and as far as I'm aware we've never even had an exhibition on the city here in Belgium...

Well maybe just in archaeological circles then.

The Roman theatre at Plovdiv Bulgaria.

 

Are there any rules to this game I should know about? I've just discovered it and I don't want to go through all 71 pages(!) to try to discover them.

 

Hello,

cheers
