Türkiye's Astonishing Antiquities

Across four episodes the series follows Rome's ancient mail route through western Türkiye: Istanbul's passage from Byzantium to Constantinople; the ruins of Laodicea, Philadelphia, Sardis, Pergamum, Smyrna, Ephesus and Tarsus; the Temple of Artemis and Smyrna's harbour; and the trade, textiles and power that made these cities thrive. Narrated by Sir David Suchet, with drone and imaging photography of sites rarely seen from the air.
