Summary:
Presents the history of Aphrodisias and simulates buildings of the city in its glory. Tells the story of Gaius Julius Zoilus, a former slave of Gaius Julius Caesar. Zoilus initiated and largely funded the lavish building program in the city's civic center. Zoilus aligned with Octavian in his power struggle against Mark Antony. This alignment ensured Octavian Augustus's lasting favor in the form of financial privileges that allowed Aphrodisias to prosper.
