Video description

The ancient Greek and Roman city of Ephesus, located on the west coast of Asia Minor, was one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League during the Classical Greek Period. In Roman Times, Ephesus had a population of more than 250,000 citizens, making it the second largest city in the world. Despite being destroyed by the Goths in 263 AD, Ephesus remained an important city during the Byzantine period. On the south side of Curetes Street, opposite the Temple of Hadrian and next to the Octagon, luxurious dwelling houses were found. The houses were built on the northern slopes of Mount Bulbul (Bulbul Dagi), in such a way that each house served as the terrace for the next and higher house. A narrow stepped street connected this quarter to the main Curetes Street. Each house had an open peristyle surrounded by rooms. Most houses had three floors, a fountain, a cistern or a well. Most houses were heated by a hypocaust system. Mosaic floors, wall frescos and decorative marble tiles adorned most houses. Most houses, dated to the reign of Emperor Augustus (circa 27 BC – 14 AD), were renovated numerous times until the 7th Century AD.
