Ephesus
was an ancient
Ionian Greek city;
its ruins lie near
the modern Town of
Selcuk and only 20
minutes drive from
Kusadasi in Turkey.
It was situated
south of the Cayster
River, and was the
site of the Temple
of Artemis.
Traditionally
founded by the
Carians, it was one
of the 12 Ionian
Cities and was
involved in the
Persian and
Peloponnesian wars.
It was taken by
Alexander the Great
c.334 BC and
prospered throughout
the Hellenistic
period. It passed to
Rome in 133 BC;
under Augustus it
became the capital
of the Roman
province of Asia. It
was an early seat of
Christianity,
visited by St. Paul,
and the recipient of
the Epistle to the
Ephesians. The Goths
destroyed the city
and temple in AD
262; neither ever
recovered. There are
extensively
excavated ruins at
the modern site.
