Ephesus was renamed as Arsineia for a short while by Lysimachus who was a general of Alexander the Great. The City was named Ephesus again after the death of Lysimachus in the battle of Corupedium in 231 BC.
Ephesus with the population of 250.000 people was the second biggest city in the Roman Empire.
Celsuslibrary is one of the best examples of forced perspective in the ancient architecture. The Library has a row of thick columns in the bottom and thinner ones on the second floor.
The Temple of Artemis in Ephesus was the first ever all fully marble made building in the world.
Ephesus today is one of the most important Christian pilgrimage destinations of the world.
