Random Magnetic Ruins

After Priene we drove on, intent on nothing but finding that nice campground in Selcuk we had heard of, near Ephesus, and taking several days off. We are tired travelers, and Vicki's arm needs rest. But the cultural and historical sites in Turkey are without end, and, not far from Selcuk, without even noticing the brown cultural/heritage signage, we passed another ruined city, this time Magnesia. It was in none of our guidebooks. We had to stop for just a few pix outside the fence. Magnesia was settled by Greeks from Thessaly, Leukippos and his followers, the Magnetes (could be a rock band; "and now, direct from their home town in Thessaly, and following a succesful tour of Asia Minor, please welcome Leukippos and the Magnetes..."), in the 5th century BCE. It became a religious center under the Byzantines, then declined. Aegean and Mediterranean Turkey are just littered with such places. I wonder whether anyone has seen them all.
