Ephesus is often referred to by Westerners as "the Pompeii of Turkey", but it is unfair to describe Ephesus in Pompeii in Turkey. Ephesus is the best-preserved classical city on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean and an important center of early Christianity. In many aspects such as city size, history, economy, and religious influence, Pompeii is extremely difficult. However, Pompeii's instant destruction fixed the city and life form at that time, and the subsequent excavation protection was very complete and thus more widely known. The remains of the ancient city of Ephesus have so far preserved two main streets, one is the avenue leading to the port that year, and the other is a fully marbled street connected to it. On both sides of the road, like the modern city, there are institutions such as the city hall, the court, the philosophy school, and other public buildings such as libraries, theaters, shrines, churches, celebrity houses and commercial markets, bathrooms and even public toilets. . Many stone carvings in the ancient city of Ephesus have ancient legends, and many of the famous brand logos are here. The pattern on the stone pillar in the picture is the prototype of the Herms logo. The central location of this big city is a two-story marble building, one of the oldest libraries, whose grandeur and magnificence are deeply shocking. The Selcuk Library, built in 135 AD, was built by his son to commemorate him after the death of Ephesuss Roman governor, Chel.
