Ah yes, more roman ruins.

And man, was this a hot day! A beautiful place to look around, but we spent a lot of time trying to find shade to hide in! There's not a lot around in a roman ruin, in case you were wondering.

This was one of the main Roman cities in the area, a huge place which is now in the middle of nowhere, but back in the day was a happening place on the trade route. It was originally a temple to Baal before the Romans came along and piggybacked onto it and made it their own, as they did a lot.

Not much more to say... I think I've used my my superlatives for Roman ruins already in previous blogs, so enjoy the photos.
