Turkey-Ephesus_003.jpg
Turkey. Ephesus. Dramatic view from the top tier of the Great theatre of Ephesus which is built on the slopes Mount Pion. Originally built by the Greeks in third century BC during the Hellenistic reign of Lysimachus, the theatre was remodelled and enlarged by the Romans to what is seen today. The tiers could accommodate 25,000 people which made it one of the largest theatres in the Roman world. Used for plays, concerts and gladiatorial events, the theatre is famous for its use by the Bible character St Paul as a place to preach against pagan worship
