Stalls outside the Roman stadium in Perge, Turkey

What’s a day at the chariot races without a place to buy some refreshing pomegranate punch, larks’ tongues on a stick or souvenirs for the kiddies?

Twenty-two readers got the correct answer, and DIANNE BROWN of Autaugaville, Alabama, won the drawing. We thank B.L. Kuhlmann of Corona del Mar, California, for sending us the photo.
