Ephesos, one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League, flourished through maritime trade linking the Aegean with inland Anatolia. Its sanctuary of Artemis, counted among the Seven Wonders of the ancient world, drew pilgrims and wealth. The city passed through Lydian, Persian and Hellenistic rule before becoming a major centre of Roman Asia, preserving its distinctive civic identity and devotion to Artemis across centuries.
