 Ephesus We hired a private driver to take us to Ephesus. This picture gives an idea of the crowds. Ephesus was built over three thousand years ago, but most of the monuments there are from the Roman era, particularly during the years from Augustus to Trajan. The Byzantines kept Ephesus as their regional capital up until its conquest by the Seljuk Turks after Manzikert in 1071. |
