We had sunny weather at Ephesus.
There were actually about 6 versions of the city built over a wide area.
The Basilica of St John the Theologian is within the domains of Ephesus 2 and 4.
Due to lighting problems on the day, I have used copies of slides from a previous visit to
illustrate both the advert for the brothel and the rod of Asclepius.
The latter medical symbol has one rod and one snake,
as opposed to the often seen Caduceus, which has one rod, two wings and two snakes and is associated with Hermes and Hera
