Roman Philippopolis, 200
Philippopolis in AD 200 is a prosperous provincial capital of Roman Thrace, built across three steep hills and spilling into the fertile Hebrus (Maritsa) plain. The walk shows the city’s public monuments — theatre, stadium, forum and basilica — the circuit walls and gates, and the colonnaded streets that link workshops, markets and river quays.
35 scenes — 21 streets, squares and views, 14 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Plovdiv as it stood in AD 200 (“Plovdiv”).
