any pictures of Samosata founded by Sames?

[ara87]

Samosata was an ancient city founded by Sames/Շամուշ, a Satrap of Commagene as the capital of Commagene, in modern day Turkey. When the Ataturk damn was created along the Euphrates it was flooded and its ruins were submerged.

Does anyone know how grand these ruins were? I can't seem to find any pictures or even pictures of sketches of what it looked indicating not much was lost, but then I read that it was a bustling city even all the way into the Ottoman years

Not the same place - but I was at the ruins of Arsamosata a few weeks ago.
