Book excerpt: Although the symposium "Ephesos from Late Antiquity until the Late Middle Ages", the contributions of which are presented here, took place in 2012, the contributors were able to take the latest results into account and incorporate them into this volume. An Archaeological Introduction by excavation director Sabine Ladstatter for the latest results, which are published here for the first time. The same applies to all other contributions, whether they deal with the restoration project of the Turkish monuments in Ayasoluk, the research in the Cemetery of the Seven Sleepers, the health status of the inhabitants of early Byzantine Ephesus or investigate roads and routes as communication channels in the Ephesian hinterland. A late testimony to the spiritual significance of the place is the biography of St. Lazarus. The bathing in Ephesos from early Byzantine to Islamic times is discussed and chronologically evaluated on the basis of the individual monuments and the topic of port research is taken into account with the contribution to the number and condition of ephesian ports after the Roman period. Byzantine crosses are associated with the pilgrimage, the medieval Ephesus is viewed as a production and consumption center based on findings and findings. A medieval coin hoard from the Artemision, which is now in the British Museum, also integrates numismatic research. The volume is rounded off by a cultural-historical analysis of the Isa Bey Mosque. The contributions are characterized by rich and high-quality images that include historical map material, 3-D reconstructions and modern drone photography.
