Highlights • Temple of Artemis Izmir • Baths of Scholastica • Grand Theatre • Temple of Hadrian Duration 5 Hours Activity Level Easy $ * From 54 per person Artemis Temple & Ancient Ephesus Tour As you’re led along the beautiful marble streets of Ephesus, you’ll be led into a rich world of history. There are tales of love and violence along the way; monuments to beloved fathers, temples to the Goddess and so much more. Even after the fine sights of the Baths of Scholastica and the Grand Theatre – to name just two – the focus of this tour is the fabled Temple of Artemis – one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Or rather, the site of the Temple of Artemis. The Temple of Artemis had a more troubled history. It suffered flood, fire and sacking by the Goths, and had to be rebuilt three times. It was finally destroyed in the fifth century and its remains were only rediscovered comparatively recently. The site is still a wonderfully evocative place to visit and pore over the ruins. Highlights • Library of Celsus • Grand Theatre • Temple of Artemis • Basilica of St John • House of the Virgin Mary • Terraced Houses • Mountain village of Sirince Duration 6 Hours Activity Level Easy $ * From 80 per person Temple, Basilica, Ancient Ephesus Tour & Terraced Houses Starting out in Ephesus, you’ll get the grand tour of the some of the world’s finest surviving historical buildings. There’s the Library of Celsus, built as a memorial to Gaius Julius Celsus Polemanus the proconsul of the Province of Asia. There’s the Grand Theatre – where St Paul preached to as many as 24,000 people. And of course, there’s the Temple of Artemis too. Out in the country, you’ll discover the Basilica of St John and the House of the Virgin Mary – both revered sites with fascinating stories attached. Next, it’s time to visit the Artemission Temple. Once one of the wonders of the world, the Temple no longer stands, but its legacy – and the remnants left behind – offer a tantalising glimpse of the past. There will be a trip to the famous Terraced Houses with entrance fees included within this tour price. There’s one final treat in store. A visit to the mountain village of Sirince. Up here, among the fruit trees, churches and winding roads is a little oasis of calm. A perfect place for a relaxed lunch and a glass of the local fruity wine. *Terms and conditions apply..

Turkey: the World’S Earliest Cities & Temples September 14 - 23, 2013 Global Heritage Fund Turkey: the World’S Earliest Cities & Temples September 14 - 23, 2013
Global Heritage Fund Turkey: The World’s Earliest Cities & Temples September 14 - 23, 2013 Global Heritage Fund Turkey: The World’s Earliest Cities & Temples September 14 - 23, 2013 To overstate the depth of Turkey’s culture or the richness of its history is nearly impossible. At the crossroads of two continents, home to some of the world’s earliest and most influential cities and civilizations, Turkey contains multi- tudes. The graciousness of its people is legendary—indeed it’s often said that to call a Turk gracious is redundant—and perhaps that’s no surprise in a place where cultural exchange has been taking place for millennia. From early Neolithic ruins to vibrant Istanbul, the karsts and cave-towns of Cappadocia to metropolitan Ankara, Turkey is rich in treasure for the inquisi- tive traveler. During our explorations of these and other highlights of the coun- FEATURING: try, we will enjoy special access to architectural and archaeological sites in the Dan Thompson, Ph.D. company of Global Heritage Fund staff. Director, Global Projects and Global Heritage Network Dr. Dan Thompson joined Global Heritage Fund full time in January 2008, having previously conducted fieldwork at GHF-supported projects in the Mirador Basin, Guatemala, and at Ani and Çatalhöyük, both in Turkey. As Director of Global Projects and Global Heri- tage Network (GHN), he oversees all aspects of GHF projects at the home office, manages Global Heritage Network, acts as senior editor of print and web publica- tions, and provides support to fundraising efforts.

Liturgy, Space, and Community in the Basilica Julii (Santa Maria in Trastevere)
DALE KINNEY Liturgy, Space, and Community in the Basilica Julii (Santa Maria in Trastevere) Abstract The Basilica Julii (also known as titulus Callisti and later as Santa Maria in Trastevere) provides a case study of the physical and social conditions in which early Christian liturgies ‘rewired’ their participants. This paper demon- strates that liturgical transformation was a two-way process, in which liturgy was the object as well as the agent of change. Three essential factors – the liturgy of the Eucharist, the space of the early Christian basilica, and the local Christian community – are described as they existed in Rome from the fourth through the ninth centuries. The essay then takes up the specific case of the Basilica Julii, showing how these three factors interacted in the con- crete conditions of a particular titular church. The basilica’s early Christian liturgical layout endured until the ninth century, when it was reconfigured by Pope Gregory IV (827-844) to bring the liturgical sub-spaces up-to- date. In Pope Gregory’s remodeling the original non-hierarchical layout was replaced by one in which celebrants were elevated above the congregation, women were segregated from men, and higher-ranking lay people were accorded places of honor distinct from those of lesser stature. These alterations brought the Basilica Julii in line with the requirements of the ninth-century papal stational liturgy. The stational liturgy was hierarchically orga- nized from the beginning, but distinctions became sharper in the course of the early Middle Ages in accordance with the expansion of papal authority and changes in lay society.

Upon entering I St. Peter's, one can see many parallels between it and Solomon's Temple in both architecture and orientation. Even more striking are the similarities between the political and reli gious roles of St. Peter's Basilica and those of an ancient Near Eastern temple. Christians believed that Christ fulfilled the Levitical temple functions and that temple worshlp finally ended with the destruction of the Second Temple at Jerusalem in AD 70, but Christians never completely escaped from the idea that a temple was necessary.
