Our
imagination is always very much put to the test when visiting an antique site
for we have mentally to reconstruct the buildings and the streets with all
their trimmings and decorations. In some cities with enough temples and theaters
still standing the task is much easier than in the places where we have to work
with scant remains.
So, bless
the modern technology enabling 3D reconstructions of those ancient places.
Today Priene is put in the limelight, offering a superb look at the
general layout of this unique Hellenistic city!
Of course, this is not exactly how Alexander experienced Priene, but it is close enough.
