Don McCullin's photographs explore the mountains, valleys and coast of western Turkey, hunting out the most poignant and powerful ruins of the Roman Empire. His work offers a meditation on landscape, the effects of light on ancient stone, the way clouds animate the past, but it is also inescapably about past conflict.
Driven by an eye for beauty and a passion for history, Britain's celebrated photographer Sir Don McCullin and writer Barnaby Rogerson set off across Roman Asia Minor. Their epic journey takes them from the plain of fabled Troy, via the splendors of Ephesus and the enchantment of Aphrodisias, to the mountain fastness of Hadrian's Sagalassos.
