The Temple of Artemis, also known as the Temple of Diana, was a Greek temple dedicated to Artemis. The original structure was completed around 550 BC at Ephesus (in present-day Turkey), and was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It features prominently in Paul’s missionary journeys in Acts 19.
“The completed temple was 425 ft by 225 ft and had 127 columns each 60 ft in height and each representing a king. Thirty-six of the columns were decorated with high reliefs, and at least one was the work of Scopas, a renowned sculptor. (Cf. Pliny Nat. hist. xxxvi.21 [95–97].)” (source: Bromiley, G. W.
