Izmir, one
of Turkey's biggest port and 3rd biggest
City in Turkey and the population is
approx 4 million. Ephesus was an ancient
Ionian Greek city; its ruins lie near
the modern Town of Selcuk and approx 1
hour drive from Port of Izmir 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.
