If Pergamon "is", please show me where.

Why said modern-day?

 

[Route21]

"modern-day Turkey" = i.e. the area is NOW part of Turkey, but wasn't part of Turkey during the other periods mentioned.

Hope this helps

PS It used to be part of Greece - as per your thread's title

Why said modern-day?

I would replace "modern-day" with "what is now".

Wow. What an entirely horrible question. I was thinking that it IS a city that closely resembles what a city in ancient Greece would have looked like, and that it does exist in modern-day Turkey.

I need to stop being astonished by how bad these questions are.
