> Is there any record in post-roman history of a city subject to destruction which wasn't rebuilt? Tana (Tanais) comes immediately to mind, founded by the Venetians in the 14th century (notionally a refounding of the ancient Greek city), destroyed by the Mongols about 100 years later and essentially never fully rebuilt after that. Machu Picchu might be another example, depending on your definitions of "post-roman" and "destruction". Aghdam, Marinka and Soledar would be current cases, though they may be rebuilt (already planned for Aghdam).
