The Romans built hundreds of miles of aqueducts in Anatolia, not to
mention hundreds of theaters, baths, agoras and colonnaded streets.
This fragment of aqueduct is at Phaselis,
once a thriving Mediterranean port
for the shipment of rose oil used in perfumes.
Not far from Olimpos on
the coast south of Antalya, Phaselis today
is a
national
park where this picturesque Roman remnant
catches the late afternoon light beneath
shady pines.
