Cities destroyed by war or other causes and not subsequently rebuilt include: *Sodom? *Gomorrah? *Troy *Carthage |

Cities are also often destroyed by wars. This is the case, for instance, with Troy and Carthage, though both of these were subsequently rebuilt. The various abandonded capitals of the middle east are an interesting case: Persepolis? was accidentally burnt by Alexander the Great, while Babylon was abandoned in favor of Ctesiphon?, which was in turn abandoned in favor of Baghdad, though all these are fairly close together. |
