| Aphrodisias |
| Aphrodisias had a famous sculpture academy in Roman times, probably because of the high-grade marble quarried only a few kilometres away at Babadag. The museum at the site thus has an especially good collection of Roman sculpture. Take a look at the Faces of Aphrodisias. By the 8th century BC, Aphrodisias was famous as the City of Aphrodite, and pilgrims came to pay homage to the Goddess of Love at her temple. The goddess was called Venus by the Romans, and it's easy to imagine ancient fertility rites such as the belly dance being performed in her temple here. |
