You step onto the coach before dawn, the Mediterranean light still soft on the Taurus foothills as the driver eases toward ancient stone. By midmorning the air carries the faint clatter of excavation and the smell of dry earth; columns rise from scrub like punctuation marks in a long, complicated sentence. This is a day where empires pass by in sequence — Roman baths at Perge, the perfectly preserved acoustics of Aspendos, and the sea-framed columns of Side's Temple of Apollo.
