Marble bench with eagle figures flanked by double lion statues in the synagogue main assembly hall. Sardis, Sart, Turkey. The marble stable and statues are at the west end in front of the semicircular apse. The hall is over 50 metres long and large enough to hold 1000 people. Massive stone piers supported the roof at a height of 14 metres. The synagogue was the centre of Jewish religious life during the late Roman period. The synagogue occupied the corner of the Roman bath-gymnasium, converting part of this public building into a Jewish house of worship.
