That's Termessos, Turkey - a Hellenistic-Roman site (at least from 4th c. BCE to the Roman period).
ReplyDeleteI've just taken a look at Termossos and I can see why you suggested this, but unfortunately it's not the right site.
ReplyDeleteAh, and I was so confident! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWell, the two sites look pretty similar in GE ...
ReplyDeleteA clue of sorts: the site is in a country that hasn't yet featured in WOGE.
ReplyDeleteI think I got it now: Butrint, Albania. I've been there, so it's funny if I got it mixed up with Termessos! Chronology: covering at least 10th c. BCE to 18th century CE or so. Am I right?
ReplyDeleteRight this time, Troels - well done!
ReplyDeleteOK - WOGE 69 is now up: http://www.iconoclasm.dk/?p=806
