Sardis synagogue

Since 1958, both Harvard and Cornell Universities have sponsored annual archeological expeditions to Sardis. These excavations unearthed perhaps the most impressive synagogue in the western diaspora yet discovered from antiquity, yielding over eighty Greek and seven Hebrew inscriptions as well as numerous mosaic floors. The discovery of the Sardis synagogue has reversed previous assumptions about Judaism in the later Roman empire. Along with the discovery of the godfearers/theosebeis inscription from the Aphrodisias, it provides indisputable evidence for the continued vitality of Jewish communities in Asia Minor, their integration into general Roman imperial civic life, and their size and importance at a time when many scholars previously assumed that Christianity had eclipsed Judaism.
The synagogue was a section of a large bath-gymnasium complex, that was in use for about 450 – 500 years. In the beginning, middle of the second century AD, the rooms the synagogue is situated in were used as changing rooms or resting rooms. The complex was destroyed in 616 AD by the Sassanian-Persians.

Hello Burak! Very interesting ruins of synagogue. Original columns. Nice light and bright, very nice colours. Good info. Well done!

Selam Burak,
Evet böyle bir yapıyı Sartta görünce şaşırmıştım. Sinagog olarak alışılmadık bir yerdeydi.
Güzel belgelenmiş detaylar

Pleasent colors and place...TFS

Muhteşem bir tarihi yapıt. Simetri biraz arka fonda kaymış. Onu da ayralasan çok daha iyi olcaktı Burak. Ama enfes bir kompozisyon.
Eline sağlık.
