EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving by Bernardoni, after Luigi Meyer, transports us back in time to the ancient city of Ephesus in Greece. The focus of this illustration is the Ruins of the Stadium, a grand structure that once served as a venue for various sports and ceremonial events. The facade of the stadium is depicted in all its glory, with the plan of the building outlined below. The stadium's grandeur is evident in its intricate design, with a series of rooms and structures visible. To the left, we see the Thyrorion, a hallway leading to the stables and quarters for servants. Further along, there is a Perystilion, a central courtyard surrounded by a colonnade. The Minor Courtyard, a smaller passageway, leads to the Gineceo, a women's quarters, and the Laundry. Moving towards the right, we come across the large Thalamus, a bedroom, and the Amphithalamus, a larger reception room. The Toilet and Triclinium, a banquet hall, are also visible. The Maids' Quarters, with their simple rooms, are located to the right of the Triclinium. The Major Portico, an impressive arcade, is the final structure depicted in this engraving. It leads to the Rodiaco, a small portico, and the Pinacotheca, a picture gallery. The reception, library, and guest rooms are likely located in the buildings beyond the Major Portico. This historical illustration, from Giulio Ferrario's 'Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World,' published in Florence in 1826, offers a fascinating glimpse into the architectural and social aspects of ancient Greek life. The intricate details of the engraving allow us to imagine the daily life and grandeur of the people who once inhabited this magnificent structure.
