Pictures of Terrace House 2 complex at Ephesus, Turkey. See Roman homes nearly 2,000 years old, complete with tile mosaics and plastered frescoes. This section of the Ephesus ruins requires an additional ticket, but is well worth the visit. In its day, Ephesus was home to half a million people and one of the largest Roman cities.
