This documentary is about a great Greek city with a long and rich history, which was given to Rome as a gift, in a will.
This city was controlled by the Attalid dynasty of Pergamon during the Hellenistic Period. But when the last Attalid king died without an heir, he gifted his kingdom to Rome, which included this magnificent city.
This city was Ephesus. When it got absorbed into the Roman Empire, it became one of its key cities, being a major port city on the west coast of Anatolia.
It was eventually made the provincial capital of the Roman Province of Asia, and a crucial economic link between the eastern part of the empire and the west.
This video is the 2nd episode in a 4 part series about Ephesus, the first part covering the Ancient Greek history of the city, and this part covering the Roman history.
A good portion of this video explores the different monuments that still exist at the ancient site of Ephesus, and gives a good overall tour of the site, its topography, and its architecture and archaeology.
