THK RUIXS OF TROY 



Some of the old Trojan towers are intensely interesting. The one situated at the north- 

 eastern corner of the outer Mycenie wall is a gigantic pile having a thickness of no less 

 than 60 feet. Even some of the prehistoric walls are from 30 to 40 feet in height at certain 

 places, with a width of 12 feet.

One of the Roman theaters is sufficiently preserved to give some idea of the use it was 

 formerly put to. It was apparentlv similar in construction to like theaters, on a smaller 

 scale, found at Priene and Miletus, and were perhaps used more as counsel chambers than 

 as actual theaters. To the left is standing a Greek shepherd in his capote.
