EPHESUS & KUSADASI, TURKEY : Ephesus is the best preserved classical city on the Eastern Mediterenean. In ancient times it was a great trading and religious city and was onece the home to the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Ephesus became the Roman provincial caoital and was known for its wealth and beauty, but was pillaged by Gothic invaders in 262 AD. Today the remains are so well preserved, that it is easy to get a feel for what life was during the Roman times. These photos were taken in May 1993 with my old film camera. I scanned the prints to convert it to digital format.
