Aphrodisias

Temple Aphrodisias


Aphrodisias was full of sarcophagi—which means flesh eater—with beautiful reliefs carved into the marble. We saw the Odeon, the theater, baths and the well preserved stadium. When Aphrodisaias was a thriving city, a part of the stadium wall was opened to let in camels for their wrestling matches. Camel wrestling was a major sport, along with chariot and foot races.
