After an earthquake destroyed the city in76 AD it was rebuilt by Trajan and Hadrian, the Gymnasium is a fine example of the Roman reconstruction of the City. Another fine structure is the theater with its 50 rows of seats that could hold 15,000 people. A lot of the City still has to be excavated, part of it is on the sea bed and can be seen through the clear water of the Mediterranean Sea. The photos were taken in the 1970s when I was attached to the UN in Cyprus.
