EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the ancient city of Selcuk, Turkey, with a focus on the road leading from the Gymnasium to the Great Theatre, a prominent landmark of the ancient Greek city of Ephesus. The image, estimated to have been taken around 1902, offers a glimpse into the rich history and archaeological significance of this UNESCO World Heritage site. The foreground of the photograph features the ruins of the Gymnasium, an ancient athletic and cultural center where young men would gather to train and engage in intellectual pursuits. The arched gateway, still standing tall, leads to the expansive road that stretches towards the Great Theatre in the background. The Great Theatre, a marvel of ancient architecture, is a testament to the cultural and artistic achievements of the ancient Greeks. It is believed that St. Paul, the renowned Christian apostle, was imprisoned here during his third missionary journey around 57 AD. The theatre, with its impressive capacity of 24,000 spectators, was used for various public events, including religious ceremonies and theatrical performances. The ancient city of Ephesus, located in modern-day Selcuk, was once a thriving center of commerce and culture, attracting visitors from all corners of the Mediterranean. The ruins of this once-great city, including the Temple of Artemis, the Library of Celsus, and the Terrace Houses, continue to fascinate historians, archaeologists, and travelers alike. This photograph, with its striking composition and historical significance, transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the ancient world and the remarkable legacy it has left behind.
