Priene, a virtual tour

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.
