This 360° VR video will take you to Bitola in North Macedonia, where you will find the ancient city Heraclea Lyncestis. It was a Macedonian Greek city, founded by Philip II of Macedon, Alexander the Great’s father, and named after the Greek god Heracles. After it was conquered by the Romans in the 2nd century BC the city greatly prospered, mainly due to its key location on the Via Egnatia. In this archaeological site you will discover a stunning Roman theatre and bath complex, along with early Christian basilicas with well-preserved famously intricate mosaic pavements.
