Roman fountain in Turkey to be restored

[guy]

 

• A fountain built in Turkey 2,000 years ago has been restored using 150 original fragments uncovered at the site 
• It is located in Kibyra, known as the City of Gladiators due to several the massive 10,000-person arena that was also built in the town by the Roman Empire
• Archaeologists are also restoring the water system so it will soon flow with drinkable water just as it did 2,000 years ago 

 

 

Above is a 10,400-person Roman stadium in Kibrya. It was used for both races and gladiator fights as suggested by the gladiator friezes.

I think they misidentified (and misspelled) that, and below is the racing stadium of KibYRa:

 

BTW, if you are managing your own retirement or savings fund and suffering from all financial assets circling the drain, notice Turkish etf TUR would have doubled your money in less than a year. https://stockcharts.com/freecharts/perf.php?$SPX,tlt,efa,tUR now shows that vs sagging US stocks, bonds, and world stocks. Easy to invest in from US online brokerage, but it is said to be a risky bubble due to flight from Turkish currency, real estate, etc problems.
