Perirrhanterion.

Just try slipping that word into the conversation at your next backyard barbeque.

I recognize the Greek Siren but the winged human headed cat looks almost Assyrian. Does anyone recognize it?

Had to look it up as I totally forgot the Firesign Theater reference. I used to love their albums.
Happy memory.

Should be pretty easy if anybody brings up the “ancient city of Klazomenai in the Urla district of Izmir.”

Iconium is now called Konya. It is about a day’s drive north of Tarsus.

Ah, from the city of Cigli AFB.

At least until all of the Jupiters were removed.

Good times.

And a great place for exploring Roman ruins.
