Inscription, Gate of Mazeus and Mythridates, Ephesus
Inscription above the Gate of Mazeus and Mythridates, 40 AD, Ephesus, Izmir, Turkey. The gate with 3 passageways to the right of the Library of Celsus was built by the slaves Mazeus and Mythridates for their emperor, Augustus, who gave them their freedom. Here we see a Greek inscription above the arch and a relief of Tyche, goddess of fortune and prosperity. 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
