Ephesos Museum, Vienna

Ephesus flourished from the 10th century BC until the 15th century AD and ranks among the most significant cities of the ancient world. It was home to the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the philosopher Heraclitus lived and taught there. Ephesus also became one of the most important early centres of Christianity. Under Roman rule, the city served as the capital of the province of Asia and had a population of around 200,000 inhabitants, making it one of the largest cities of the empire.

The museum’s highlights include the monumental Parthian Monument reliefs, statues of Artemis of Ephesus, architectural elements, inscriptions and everyday objects that vividly illustrate religious life, imperial power and urban culture in Greek and Roman times. After its incorporation into the Ottoman Empire in 1390, Ephesus gradually declined and was abandoned in the 15th century.
