Temple of the Emperors, Roman imperial temple in Selçuk, Turkey.
The Temple of the Emperors stands at the center of ancient Ephesus, featuring classical Roman columns, porticoes, and ceremonial spaces dedicated to emperor worship.
Constructed in the first century AD during Emperor Domitian's reign, this temple represented Roman authority and divine status of emperors in Asia Minor.
The temple complex served as a primary location for citizens to demonstrate loyalty through religious ceremonies combining Roman imperial traditions with local practices.
Visitors can access the temple ruins through the main archaeological site of Ephesus, with numbered information panels explaining architectural features and historical context.
