After our school visit and another delicious lunch, we visited the ruins of the city of Aphrodisias.

| There is a very large amphitheater .... |
 |
... a Bouleuterion...
|
and a large stadium that could seat 30,000. This end had been converted into a gladiator arena.
This is the large monumental gateway.
I am facing the Temple of Aphrodite.
The professor who excavated this site was buried here.
This is a fragment of a mosaic located in the museum.
I could not resist... from David Letterman.... "Hair Piece/Not a Hair Piece?"...
This is a statue of Aphrodite. A cult for this goddess grew around here.
This is the bust of a goddess from the Roman Bath here.
