The Roman stadium of Perga (Perge) in Southern Turkey has been restored. The stadium, which seats about 5000, is one of many fascinating Roman finds in the city of Perga (see video below). Perga was one of the many sites visited by Apostle Paul.

Well, that explains to me why the nearby Antalya archeo museum seems much better endowed with Roman sculpture than the Istanbul Archeo museum, the latter not having a youtube video worthy of putting in my signature museum playlist. Next I would like explained what activities went on in a stadium of that type - seems the wrong shape for horse racing, plays, or gladiators.
