The Library Of Celsius, Ephesus

Jakob · December 25th, 2005, 10:29 PM

The Library of Celsius was built in 114 AD. The library hosted 12,000 scrolls in niches around the walls. Niches on the façade of the Celsius library represent the Virtues: "Arete" (Goodness), "Ennoia" (Thought), "Episteme" (Knowledge) and "Sophia" (Wisdom). The façade is quite impressive as the base of the façade is convex, making the central columns seem much taller.

Thanks for the thread!

As far as I know the missing statues at the top are in British Museum.
