Artist's impression of the South Gate of Troy, Turkey, 27 October 2009. Troy was founded on the hill Hisarlik about 3,000 BC in the Bronze Age but it is not known by whom, the city now being regarded as the centre of a Troja culture. Destroyed at the end of the Bronze Age after the Trojan War c.1184 BC, the city was re-established by Greeks but was then absorbed by the Persian Empire in 387 BC. Alexander the Great then conquered it in 334 BC and it remained Greek until the Romans conquered it in 85 BC and in 20 BC established a new city named Ilium. The rise of Constantinople led to its decline in the Byzantine era and it was finally abandoned c.450 AD. Its site was lost to history and its very existence was thought to be a myth. However, various excavations in the 19th Century found the site and established that the city had been no myth.
