#AncientSiteSunday - Nysa on the Maeander was an ancient city in Caria, nestled deep within the valleys of the Aegean, 50 km east of Ephesus. Today, it is a very atmospheric archaeological site with ruins from the Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine periods scattered along the mountain slope.
The east portico of the Agora (marketplace). The Agora covered an area of 113 x 130 meters. The first construction phase of the Agora is dated to the Late Hellenistic Period. The Stadium was built at the foot of the gorge with rows of seats cut into the steep hillside. It is dated to the Late Hellenistic period. The library was built around 130 AD. It is considered Turkey’s second-best preserved ancient library structure after the “Celsus Library” of Ephesus. The street leading to the entrance to the Agora.

Whoops! That moment when you forget to post a draft until two days later: from July 4th.
Rebecca Littler Metcalf was born the same day the Declaration of Independence was signed.
Research has found her headstone was engraved incorrectly adding an "e" to the end of her last name.
She died in 1861.
