The Basilica Cistern, built in Constantinople by Justinian in the sixth century CE. The enormity of the cistern gives the impression that you’re roaming around an underground cathedral.

**Response to @SusanRahyab:**
…Marcus Aurelius, until I reached Ephesus and saw his stunning bust in the museum there. I prefer Hadrian but the particular bust of his that they replicated wasn’t so sexy, so I went with Marcus Aurelius while I was in Priene… sorry Hadrian.

I noticed that in every single shop at every single ancient site and museum we visited in Turkey, the busts were all the same. You only have two options if you want an emperor: Hadrian or Marcus Aurelius. I assumed Hadrian because of his travels, but couldn’t understand why…

While gathering material for teaching the death of Hector this week, I found a coin from Troy with Commodus on the obverse and Hector on the reverse (rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/4/… (https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/4/120)).
In the Gladiator film, Commodus tells Maximus, "\[my nephew Lucius\] insists you are Hector reborn."
