More in Ephesus

Continuing our tour of Ephesus, we went into the terraced houses that have been excavated. These were beautiful homes, with intricate mosaics and murals, and indoor plumbing.

 This is a piece of the clay pipes used to deliver water to the home.
 Various views of murals and mosaics.











 
 
After touring these amazing homes, we were astounded by the view of the library.
 
 
And, the amphitheater.

An interesting place was the public toilet. We were told that wealthy Romans had assigned seats, and that they would send slaves to sit on them to warm them before use.

 Sooooo much more to see in Ephesus, so many more pictures, but, that will wrap it up. Can't show everything, right?  I enjoy history, so, for me, this is really fascinating.
