Aphrodisias, home of the ancient sculpture school

Aphridisias was the site of the ancient sculpture school, so we see more than the usual number of sculptures, and a few of them are of substandard quality when compared with those in the rest of "Asia" (i.e., archeologists found the dump). Below you see the remains of a reflection pool (oval); a theater; a sculpture that shows women's head coverings (note they are not veils), which can possibly help us understand 1 Cor. 11; a backgammon-like game sometimes found on the back rows of stadiums or near public places (pre-game entertainment, anyone?); and arches from a major intersection in the middle of town.


Ruins, ruins everywhere!
