Guess the ancient city!

Hmm - I'm going to guess that the gegraphical characteristic is that Serbia is landlocked. The only other landlocked Balkan State is Macedonia (assuming we're not counting Hungary as a Balkan State), so my guess to the country os Macedonia. Is the answer we're looking for Ohrid?

OK - then if it isn't Heraklea Lynkestis, I will eat my hat!

In that case, I'll enjoy a Spiced Dahl Soup instead. Delicious!

 

While I'm enjoying that, I'll let you enjoy the next Ancient City. This will go really quickly - it's just an excuse to show you this wonderful photo:

As a clue - Crispina is probably best placed among you to get this one.

It is indeed Palmyra (setting for the last part of the Marcus Didius Falco novel 'Last Act in Palmyra') - well done, and over to you, Ummidia.

Palmyra looks stunning. I would like to get there one day. In January I was contemplating a tour of Jordan and Syria offered through our university for this October but soon after the events in Tunisia and Egypt it became clear this might not be the year to visit the region and unfortunately it has turned out to be too true, especially for Syria.

 

Here is my photo for your guesses:
