    This complex dates to the 4th century and differs from the many such sites I've seen, especially in Turkey (see several posts in the Turkey 2 section). What makes this site different is that, in addition to the theater itself, there are auditoria or small lecture halls, a large bath, and a residential area.
    The 1st picture overlooks the entire site. The 2nd picture is an auditorium or lecture hall. 3rd is the remains of the baths, and the 4th is the entrance to the hypocaust or heating system for the baths. The 5th overlooks the remains of the residential section. The last is a preserved floor mosaic of birds.
