Bag om Ephesus And The Temple Of Diana

""Ephesus and the Temple of Diana"" is a historical and archaeological book written by Edward Falkener. The book primarily focuses on the ancient city of Ephesus, which was located in what is now modern-day Turkey.

Falkener's book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of Ephesus and the temple.

He then goes on to describe the layout of the city and its many notable buildings, such as the Library of Celsus and the Great Theatre.

Falkener provides a detailed account of the temple's construction, its various features and decorations, and its importance in the religious and cultural life of the ancient world.
