The ancient city of Ephesus.
Red Basilica, Bergama, İzmir, Aegean, Turkey, Asia
The Red Basilica, also called variously the Red Hall and Red Courtyard, is a monumental ruined temple in the ancient city of Pergamon, now Bergama, in western Turkey. The temple was built by the Roman Empire, probably in the time of Hadrian and possibly on his orders. It is one of the largest Roman structures still surviving in the ancient Greek world. The temple is thought to have been used for the worship of the Egyptian gods specifically Isis and/or Serapis, and possibly also Osiris, Harpocrates and other lesser gods, who may have been worshipped in a pair of drum-shaped rotundas, both of which are virtually intact, alongside the main temple. Although the building itself is of an immense size, it was only one part of a much larger sacred complex, surrounded by high walls, that dwarfed even the colossal Temple of Jupiter in Baalbek. The entire complex was built directly over the River Selinus in a remarkable feat of engineering that involved the construction of an immense bridge 196 metres (643 ft) wide to channel the river through two channels under the temple. The Pergamon Bridge still stands today, supporting modern buildings and even vehicle traffic. A series of tunnels and chambers lies under the main temple, connecting it with the side rotundas and giving private access to different areas of the complex. Various drains, water channels and basins are located in, around and under the main temple and may have been used for symbolic reenactments of the flooding of the Nile. The temple was converted by the Byzantines into a Christian church dedicated to St John but was subsequently destroyed. Today the ruins of the main temple and one of the side rotundas can be visited, while the other side rotunda is still in use as a small mosque. The temple's date of construction is not recorded, but from the style of the sculptures and the building techniques a date in the first half of the second century AD has been proposed. Its use of red brick on a massive scale, unique in Asia Minor but relatively common in Italy at the time, indicates that the architect was not local. The immense size and lavish construction of the complex points to an extremely wealthy patron who sent a Roman architect and brick masons to Pergamon to build the temple. The most likely candidate is the emperor Hadrian himself. He is known to have been an enthusiastic sponsor of the Egyptian gods; he built temples of Isis and Serapis at various places in the Roman world, including at his own villa in Tivoli. At some point during the Christian era the temple was gutted by fire. It was not restored, but was redeveloped in the 5th century AD as a Christian basilica, built inside the shell of the destroyed temple. Arcades were built dividing the interior into a central nave and two side aisles. The eastern wall was demolished and replaced with an apse. The floor level was raised by about 2 metres (6.6 ft), obscuring the original Roman floor, though the former floor level has since been restored by archaeologists. The church was probably destroyed by the forces of the Arab general Maslamah ibn Abd al-Malik, who besieged and looted the city in 716-717 during his unsuccessful bid to conquer Constantinople. Pergamon fell into Turkish hands in 1336 and the building was converted into a mosque. The complex has been investigated and excavated in a series of campaigns by the German Archaeological Institute. In 1906-1909 P. Schazmann prepared detailed drawings of the ruins during a German excavation of the Hellenistic city. The temple and temenos were excavated by Theodor Wiegand from 1927. New archaeological studies were carried out from 2002 to 2005 under A. Hoffmann. Restoration efforts have also been pursued, first in the 1930s under O. Bayatlı, the Director of the Bergama Museum, and later in the 1950s and 1960s. Further restoration work was conducted on the main temple in 2006 and the south rotunda was restored between 2006 and 2009.
Terrace Houses of Ephesus, Selçuk, İzmir, Ionia, Turkey, Asia
Ephesus terrace houses are located on the hill, opposite the Hadrian Temple. Also called as the houses of rich, important for the reason give us information about family life during the Roman period. They were built according to the Hippodamian plan of the city in which roads transected each other at right angels. There are six residential units on three terraces at the lower end of the slope of the Bulbul Mountain. The oldest building dates back into the 1C BC and continued in use as residence until the 7C AD. Ephesus terrace houses are covered with protective roofing which resembles Roman houses. The mosaics on the floor and the frescos have been consolidated and two houses have been opened to the public as a museum. They had interior courtyards (peristyle) in the center, with the ceiling open. They were mostly two-storied, upper stores have collapsed during time. On the ground floor there were living and dining rooms opening to the hall, and upstairs there were bedrooms and guest rooms. The heating system of the terrace houses were the same as that in baths. Clay pipes beneath the floors and behind the walls carried hot air through the houses. The houses also had cold and hot water. The rooms had no window, only illuminated with light coming from the open hall, so that most of the rooms were dim. The excavations of the terrace houses started in 1960. The restoration of the two of the houses have been finished and can be visited today.
The Katisen Dance @ Great Theater Ephesus, Selçuk, Turkey
Tire, Turkey
We wanted to see some local artisans so Ali took us to Tire. It is a town about an hour east of Sirince and hosts a biweekly market. We visited a saddle maker, tin repair man, shoe maker, felt maker, and a musical gourd maker. Ali surprised us at the end by jamming with the guy that made musical gourds. He was surprisingly good.
Selcuk
On our journey through Turkey we stopped at the nice town of Selçuk with its 6th century Basilica of St. John the Apostle and İsa Bey Mosque. We were lucky when visisting the basilica complex, because they were having an open air Greek orthodox mass

Ephesus - Efes - Eφεσος - Turkey - Old Ancient Temple
The ancient city of Ephesus (Turkish: Efes), located near the Aegean Sea in modern day Turkey, was one of the great cities of the Greeks in Asia Minor and home to the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Today, the ruins of Ephesus are a major tourist attraction, especially for travelers on Mediterranean cruises. Ephesus is also a sacred site for Christians due to its association with several biblical figures, including St. Paul, St. John the Evangelist and the Virgin Mary. The religious history of ancient Ephesus was the subject of the webmaster's thesis at Oxford (completed in June 2007), so this section is even more comprehensive than most.
Ephesus was an ancient Greek city, and later a major Roman city, on the coast of Ionia, near present-day Selçuk, İzmir Province, Turkey.
Ephesus which was established as a port, was used to be the most important commercial centre. It played a great role in the ancient times with its strategic location. Ephesus is located on a very fertile valley.
Ephesus is an important tourism centre in Turkey.
The ancient city Ephesus is located in Selcuk, a small town 30km away from Kusadasi.
Hadrian exhibition opens in London

He stabilised the Roman Empire at a time of acute military crisis and he secured it's survival really far into the future. He left, in the process, an immense legacy and that legacy is still with us today and has an affect on our lives today.

Hadrian was married, he did have male lovers as well and Antinous was the most famous name to survive the ages for the Romans - that's a remarkable thing. For the Romans that wasn't unusual in anyway. Clearly the statues, the magnificent artworks that were put up to commemorate Antinous after his premature death suggest that there was a strong emotional bond between Hadrian and Antinous but it also was used - the cult that developed and manipulated - for political purposes and to bond and reinforce the ties between the Greeks and the Romans within the Empire.

Remarkably, the first thing Hadrian did within days if not hours of coming into power was to withdraw the Roman army from Mesopotamia - modern day Iraq - and immediately that makes it extremely relevant. Without trying to trivialise this - you could argue that the incoming American President will face a very similar choice and indeed, you see that reflected in the number of objects and participating countries here in the exhibition. This is our history. Whether you're from northern Africa or from the Middle East or from Europe. Whether you're Christian, Jewish or Muslim Hadrian's history is your history. It's our shared history.

LEAD IN:
A new exhibition has opened at the British Museum in London about the life and reign of the Roman emperor Hadrian.
The exhibition seeks to explore the life, love and legacy of - as some historian's refer to him - Rome's most enigmatic leader.
STORYLINE:
This fragment of a vast statue of Hadrian may only have been unearthed in August 2007 but it's quickly become a motif for an exhibition of a formidable reign that began in the first century AD.
The statue head was excavated from an archaeological site in southern Turkey last year along with part of a leg and an elaborately sandaled foot.
In its original form, the statue would have measured approximately five metres (16.4 feet).
Hadrian ruled the Roman Empire from AD 117-138, and consolidated and strengthened Roman rule across much of Europe, northern Africa and the Middle East.
Thorsten Opper is the British museum's curator of the Hadrian exhibition.
He says that Hadrian was important because of his military tenacity and because of the legacy he left.

Turkey, Aphrodisias Stadium
Photographer:Samuel Magal (samuel@sites-and-photos.com)
The stadium was used for athletic events until the theatre was badly damaged by a 7th-century earthquake, requiring part of the stadium to be converted for events previously staged in the theatre.
The stadium measures approximately 270 m by 60 m. With 30 rows of seats on each side, and around each end, it would have had a maximum capacity for around 30,000 spectators.
