EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Slopes and Terraces of the Theatre in ancient Ephesus, a captivating archaeological site located in Selcuk, Turkey. Dating back to circa 1902, this image offers a glimpse into the rich history and grandeur of this ancient city. The Theatre, a marvel of ancient Roman engineering, is nestled against the verdant slope, its terraces cascading downwards, providing seating for an estimated 24,000 spectators. The ruins of the theatre, with their intricately carved seats, bear testament to the cultural and historical significance of Ephesus, which was once a thriving commercial center and a major religious pilgrimage site. The theatre, an essential component of ancient Greek and Roman life, was used for various performances, including plays, musical recitals, and gladiatorial contests. The terraces, with their meticulously carved steps, are a testament to the architectural prowess of the ancient civilization. The theatre's proximity to the slope adds to its charm, creating a stunning visual contrast between the man-made structure and the natural landscape. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a unique perspective of the ancient city of Ephesus, which has since been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The image invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and experiences of ancient Ephesus, transporting us back in time to an era of cultural and historical significance.
