Over on Troels’ blog there is a nice list of his top ten favourite Greco-Roman archeological sites, including slide shows and comments on each. Ostia, a port city of Rome, is also a favourite of mine, particularly because of the abundance of evidence for guilds and associations. Of course, I am also not impartial when it comes to many cities of Asia Minor (modern Turkey), including Aphrodisias, Pergamum, and Nysa (because virtually no one is there–I should post some of my photos from this site) which are among my favourites. Ephesus is wonderful too, but the crowds of tourists can be a distraction. Didyma’s temple of Apollo alone is somewhat overwhelming. I could go on but I won’t.
