Dictator Sulla was a hero for the Romans in Ephesus. When the taxes were too high in Ephesus they were fed up with the yoke of Rome.

Turkey is the best place for visiting historical places :

Turkey is rich with the historical places: Didyma, Priene, Milet, Aphrodisias, Pergamon and certainly Ephesus plays a huge role among them. Ephesus is called one of the seven world wonders. We recommend for every one coming to Turkey to visit Ephesus and its surroundings: the temple of Artemis, the Seven Sleepers cave, St. John Basilica, The House of Virgin Mary, not because of its magnificence but also because of its importance for the Christian, Jewish, Catholics and other religions in the world .
