The Ancient City of Ephesus

This spring I did a mini-presentation for my students called "You Didn't Realize You Wanted To Go To Turkey, But You Do" and I showed all of them the glorious Library of Celsus in the ancient Roman city of Ephesus in southwestern Turkey.  After seeing the library, most students agreed that they did indeed want to go to Turkey.

Nike


The Gates of Hercules








Public restrooms, Roman style

The Library of Celsus







An amphitheater for 25,000 where they would see gladiators and performances.  Singers like Elton John and Sting have performed here recently.
