Ephesus, Ancient Roman City, Turkey
Roman Empire sites are found all over Turkey. The most spectacular is the Greco-Roman metropolis of Ephesus, with its mosaics, roads, and a partially restored multi-story library facade. This clip is a segment from "What the Sultan Saw", highlighting the history of Turkey and Constantinople/Istanbul, featuring the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires, plus modern Turkey.
This free Intrepid Berkeley Explorer video tour of western and central Turkey stars the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Cappadocia (land of scenic fairy chimneys), Ephesus (and other Roman cities), the Turkish Riviera, Turkish folk dancing and belly dancing, shopping for the magic flying carpet, and much more.

Of course Ephesus was originally Greek, but what remains today is Roman. I believe Greco-Roman would be most accurate, but that does not fit in the title space. I can tinker with the description to make it more complete. In my video of Greece from six years earlier, Ephesus is presented as Greek.
