Description
Detail view of one of the niche statues at the Celsus Library at Ephesus, Turkey. "Statues seen in niches between the doors, are copies of the originals which were taken to Vienna during the years when the library was being excavated. As the inscriptions on the bases indicate, the statues symbolized the wisdom (sophia), knowledge (episteme), intelligence (ennoia) and virtue (arete) of Celsus,"--Ephesus Ruins and Museum by Selahattin Erdemgil, NET Turistik Yayinlar, 1986.
