You're standing at Heraclea Sintica, an ancient Greek city near the little village of Rupite, in south-western Bulgaria. What you see around you is what archaeologists have pulled out of the ground in recent years. Take a slow look and picture a busy town, with a forum, a civic basilica and streets with sewers running beneath them.
