Ephesus

Few cities can claim that their names so closely linked with humanity’s intellectual advancement as these cities of western Anatolia. For it was here that thinking was first freed from superstition, that the foundations of experimental science laid, and that “man became the measure of all things.”
St. Paul asked: “Is there a greater city?”. Along Ephesus’ “Arcadian Way,” Marcus Antonius and Cleopatra once rode in procession; in the grand theater, St. Paul preached against the Ephesian’s goddess Artemis; and in a little house outside the city, which is still visible, the Virgin Mary spent her last days.
This history of the city of Ephesus goes back to the 7th century BC. It was one of the most important cities of the Lydia Kingdom. Persians sacked the city in the 5th century BC. In 333BC, Alexander the Great conquered the city. In 133BC, the Republic of Rome sacked the city, and it remained one of the largest and most important cities of the Roman Empire.
