Periclean Athens, 430 BC
Athens stands at the height of Pericles' building programme: the Parthenon crowns the Acropolis while the grand Propylaea rises on its western approach. The city's public life is loud and visible — assembly at the Pnyx, philosophers in the Agora's painted stoas, potters and kilns in the Kerameikos, and triremes filling Piraeus below the Long Walls.
37 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 15 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Athens as it stood in 430 BC (“Classical Athens”).
