Description
At the foot of the Acropolis hill is the so-called "Red Basilica " with its imposing twin towers . This vast brick structure was originally built as a temple to the synthetic late Roman cult of Isis , Serapis , and Harpocrates . It was viewed as the throne of the Devil by Christians (see Revelation 2:1-7) but later converted by them into a Christian church . With the coming of Islam a tower was converted into a mosque which is still functioning today .

A couple of dozen photos toward the end of the trip were made on Kodak disposable cameras. Paul Brians also provided captions and other descriptive information for the images that were cataloged and uploaded to the CONTENTdm server at the WSU Libraries.
