Abstract EN

The Sanctuary of Artemis at Ephesus is known as one of the "Seven Wonders of the World".

The goddess with such a special iconography has been the subject of countless studies but many questions still remain.

Being a prosperous port city, Ephesus was visited throughout antiquity by the various ancient populations, as archaeological evidence shows.

Its location in Asia Minor, a region of contact between East and West, allowed it to spread, first locally in the neighboring cities and then throughout the Mediterranean, through the exchange networks.

Its cult, in fact, was exported from the archaic period by the Phocaeans, who left to found Massalia with a copy of the cult statue, and was very successful in the following periods, so much so that during the Roman period it was present in the majority of the cities of the Empire

Abstract FRE

Le Sanctuaire d'Artémis à Éphèse est connu comme l'une des « Sept Merveilles du Monde ».

La déesse à l'iconographie si particulière a fait l'objet d'innombrables études mais de nombreuses questions subsistent encore.

Étant une cité portuaire prospère, Éphèse est fréquentée durant toute l'Antiquité de façon ininterrompue par les diverses populations antiques, ainsi qu'en attestent les témoignages archéologiques.

Sa situation en Asie Mineure, région de contact entre l'Orient et l'Occident, lui permet de rayonner, d'abord localement dans les cités avoisinantes, puis à travers toute la Méditerranée, à travers les réseaux d'échanges.

Son culte est en effet exporté dès l'époque archaïque par les Phocéens partis fonder Massalia en emportant une copie de la statue de culte, et connait un grand succès aux époques suivantes, si bien qu'à la période romaine, il est présent dans la majorité les cités de l'Empire.
