Pergamon

For my students (it’s nice to be missed!)
I’ll help you when I get back. In the meantime, here I am at the Ancient Lydian, then Greek, then Roman, then Byzantine site of Pergamon (about 300BCE to 300CE). This is the Acropolis on the hill, Hadrian’s Library. Germans archeologists have reconstructed a few of the columns, but carted off most of the decoration in the early 20th century. Still, it’s pretty amazing.
I’m going to put photos I took into my lectures of Greece and Roman Empires, and it will make much more sense. Plus you'll hear the funny stories of getting here…
