I was also surprised by Turkey.

Here's a map of the roman empire at its peak: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/00/Roman_Empire_Trajan_117AD.png

Includes all of Turkey and beyond. I'm not sure what year most of the amphitheaters were built though

Asia Minor was a cradle of civilization for centuries, for example during the Kingdom of Pergamon. Then everything went backwards after the Turks arrived and turned the area into a barbaric state of pillage and slavery.
