Ovid’s reflections on the changes to the landscape around Troy reminds us of the impermanence of human endeavours.
Iam seges est, ubi Troia fuit.
Now there is a field where Troy once stood.
Iam (now)
Seges (field or grain field) is the nominative singular form of "seges," meaning a field or crop.
Est (is)
Ubi (where)
Troia (Troy) is in the nominative singular form.
Fuit (was)
