Editor's Note
Ephesus was an ancient Greek city on the coast of Ionia, in present-day Selçuk in İzmir Province. It was built in the 10th century BC on the site of Apasa, a city-state that had been the capital of Arzawa, by Attic and Ionian Greek colonists. During the Classical Greek era it was one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League, and it came under the control of the Roman Republic in 129 BC.
