Ephesus Photo - Celsus Library 3

This library was built between 117 and 120 AD for Julius Celcus Polemaneanus by his son as monumantal tomb. It was revealed by excavations in 1904 and restored between 1970 and 1978. It's facade was two-storeyed, and the interior consisted of a single and large hall. The statues in the niches of the facade symbolised the virtues of Celcus : wisdom (sophia), knowledge (episteme), destiny (ennoia) and virtue (arete).
