Fountain house, Great Theatre, Ephesus, Izmir, Turkey

Fountain house behind the Great Theatre's stage building, 3rd century BC, Ephesus, Izmir, Turkey. The anteroom in front of the Ionic entrance was added in the Roman period. As an inscription on one of the columns states, the water collected here was brought in from the Marnas River. 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
