Ephesus was a happening place back in the day. Hannibal spent some time there.

That was quite an impressive site, the ruins covered a pretty good sized area, much of it still unexcavated,, but of what they have dug up.. wow.

Wow, that's some nice work there 'Antonitus'.

People forget, or just don't know, that besides the Roman Legions being the Delta Force and Seal Team 6 of it's time, they BUILT all these great Architectural and Engineering wonders wherever they went. It wasn't like:

"Okay guys, we've conquered these Barbarians now we'll call in the Architect and Construction Manager while we go off to pillage, burn, and have our way with the livestock."

Ephesus is amazing. Was there in 2011. They have apparently only dug up about 20% of it. The Library is also quite amazing.
