Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The baths at Ephesus, Izmir, Turkey, 25 October 2009. Ephesus was first established on the site of a Hittite settlement (Apasa) on Ayasuluk Hill by Attic and Ionian Greeks in the 10th Century BC. In c.300 BC the population moved from the hill to a new, coastal location (of the present ruins) founded by Lysimakhos, one of Alexander the Great’s generals. In 129 BC Ephesus, as part of the Greek Kingdom of Pergamon, fell to the Romans and subsequently became capital of the Roman Province of Asia Minor. However, in 263 AD the city was destroyed by the Goths. Although rebuilt, its port began to silt up and then in 614 AD Ephesus was destroyed by an earthquake. Despite being rebuilt again, sackings by Arabs in 655, 700 and 716 and the continuing silting up of the port resulted in the populace gradually moving back to Ayasuluk Hill. |
