2. Amazing! Where is it located? Is it safe for the inhabitants?

3. no wonder all those buildings collapsed during their earthquake

6. Romans have good foundations

7. if ur gonna repost, make sure to even look at the original post, there were 2 images, one without all the overlay

8. should be protected due to the earthquake risk

9. How is Byzantine above Roman? Istanbul was called Byzantium before it became the eastern Roman empire (AKA the Byzantine empire). It then changed to Constantinople. What am I missing here?
