  • Statue of the Temple of Domitian, Domitian Square, Ephesus, Izmir, Turkey. This was the first structure in Ephesus to be dedicated to an emperor.

When Domitian was murdered, in order to not lose its neocoros status, the Ephesians re-dedicated the temple to Vespasian, the father of Domitian. Ephesus was an ancient Greek city founded in the 10th century BC, and later a major Roman city, on the Ionian coast near present day Selcuk. Picture by Manuel Cohen
