Illustrations/Renderings of lost ancient sites
To the best of my knowledge there isn't a thread about renderings
and illustrations of what ancient sites, now mostly ruins, looked like
back in the day, so I thought it'd be fun make one. The pictures don't strictly
have to be of places from antiquity, but they should be
of something which is long gone.
I'll begin with some pictures from Archeology Illustrated,
hope you don't mind the watermarks!
