Archaeological Augustus Caesar Dedicated Ephesus Founder Hadrian Inscription Ruin Triumphal Efes
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts a fallen Roman relief carving, now restored and re-incorporated into its original position at the top left of the Gate of Hadrian in Ephesus, Turkey. The intricately detailed carving is part of a triumphal inscription dedicated to Augustus Caesar, the founder of the Roman Empire and its first Emperor, ruling from 27 BC until his death in 14 AD. The inscription extols Augustus' military victories and his role as the savior of Rome. The image captures the rich history and archaeological significance of Ephesus, a ancient city on the west coast of Asia Minor, now part of modern-day Turkey. The ruins of Ephesus, which date back to the 10th century BC, are a testament to the city's storied past and its role as a cultural melting pot. The relief carving, which dates back to the circa 1930s, provides a glimpse into the grandeur and power of the Roman Empire, and the enduring influence of its history and culture. The Gate of Hadrian, which was built in the 2nd century AD, is a popular tourist destination and a reminder of the ancient world's architectural and historical legacy. This photograph is a stunning representation of the intersection of history, archaeology, and the passage of time, and a reminder of the enduring allure of the ancient world.
