Ancient Greek seaport in Asia Minor, a centre
of the Ionian Greeks, with a temple of
Artemis destroyed by the Goths 262 AD. In the
2nd century AD Ephesus had a population of
300,000. Now in Turkey, it is one of the
world's largest archaeological sites. St Paul
visited the city, and addressed a letter
(epistle) to the Christians there.
