EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Caplio Roads of Izmir, Turkey, located in close proximity to the ancient ruins of Ephesus, also known as Efes or Smyrna. Dated back to the circa 1930s, this image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing a paved street that once connected the bustling city of Izmir with the historic site of Ephesus. The Caplio Roads, now partially covered in rubble and ruin, were once an essential part of the transportation network during the Roman and Byzantine eras. The masonry and stonework on display in this photograph are remnants of the intricate and sophisticated engineering that characterized ancient civilizations. Ephesus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was an important cultural, commercial, and religious center in the Mediterranean. The ruins of this ancient city, which include the Temple of Artemis, the Library of Celsus, and the Great Theater, attract millions of visitors every year. The Caplio Roads, with their weathered stones and timeworn appearance, serve as a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that Turkey has to offer. This photograph not only transports us back in time but also invites us to reflect on the enduring nature of human ingenuity and the passage of time.
