The ancient city of Ephesus, located in the Selçuk district of Izmir province, is one of the important cities of ancient times. This historical region is of great importance as it hosted various civilizations in the past, such as the Lydians, Persians, Hellenes, Romans and the Byzantine Empire. The establishment of the city, which was initially a small settlement but developed over time, dates back to B.C. It covers the years 6000. Ephesus, which developed especially during the Hellenistic period, was the major port city of the period and became the center of trade. The Roman Empire that ruled during this period enabled Ephesus to become richer and become an important center. At the same time, the construction of many important buildings is carried out by this Roman Empire, and works that will fascinate people in the future with their historical texture are being produced. Celcus Library, Great Theatre, Hadrian's Temple and Trajan's Fountain are among the works revealed in this period.
