Video description

The ancient Greek and Roman city of Ephesus is located on the west coast of Asia Minor. In Roman Times, Ephesus had some 250,000 citizens. Ephesus was destroyed by the Goths in 263 AD, but still existed during the Byzantine period. A peristyle house, situated near the intersection of Curetes Street and the Marble Road, is called the Brothel, according to an inscription and due to a statue of Priapus with an oversized phallus that was found in that house. The construction of the building dates to the reign of Emperor Trajan (98-117 AD). The house could be entered either from the Marble Street as well as from Curetes Street. The spacious ground floor contains a hall, while on the second floor there are number of small rooms. The upper floor is now completely destroyed. On the west side of the house either a triclinium or a reception area is found. It has coloured mosaic floors, with the symbols of the four seasons. The chamber next to it is a bath room with an elliptical pool, on the floor of which a mosaic depicting a feast of sorts was found. The structure was most likely restored in the 4th Century.
