Ephesus Ancient City: Ephesus was an ancient city in Ionia, Anatolia, now part of Turkey. It is located near the west bank of the Ayasoluk River. The city was one of the twelve major cities in Ionia and was one of the Seven Churches of Asia mentioned in the Book of Revelation. The apostle Paul’s ministry to this city is recorded in Acts 18:19-21. Ephesus was founded around the 11th century BC by the Ionians and became one of the twelve cities which formed the Ionian League. In 6 BC, Ephesus became part of the Roman Republic.

It has been estimated that Ephesus covered about 13 square kilometers and had a population of over 250,000 people around 100 BC.
