Ancient Ephesus: The History and Legacy of One of Antiquity's Greatest Cities , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 73min
Although it is no longer quite as well remembered as it was thousands of years ago, one of the most important cities in the ancient world was Ephesus, a city that dates back nearly 3,000 years and can lay claim to the Temple of Artemis, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Moreover, while Sparta and Athens were often the centers of power in ancient Greece, Ephesus, located in present-day Turkey on the coast of Ionia, was an instrumental part of the Ionian League, which wielded power for a substantial period of time before the Classical Era. Thanks to its strategic location, Ephesus was an important city no matter who was in control of the region. In fact, while many of its most famous buildings were completed by 500 BCE, the city flourished after it became part of Rome’s domains, and the Romans respected the culture so much that they continued letting Ephesus use original coins. In turn, as the Western Roman Empire dissolved and the Eastern Roman Empire and Byzantine Empire maintained control in the area, Ephesus became an important religious center. In addition to a shrine inspired by the Virgin Mary, Ephesus was mentioned repeatedly in the Bible, including in the New Testament’s Revelations, and St. Paul even wrote some of the epistles in Ephesus. Ironically, and unfortunately, it was Ephesus’ role as an important place for early Christians that ensured the final destruction of its most famous feature: the Temple of Artemis. One of the oldest of the wonders, construction began under King Croesus around 541 BCE, and it was constructed of marble in place of a previous structure that had been destroyed by a flood. The 3rd century Hellenic African scholar Callimachus of Cyrene believed the older structure had been built by the Amazons, but the original Temple of Artemis actually dated back to the late Greek Bronze Age around 1000 BCE. It may have been the first columned temple of its kind, but the site was not considered a Wonder of the Worl ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Colin Fluxman.

Grimgar, Ashes & Illusions - Blu-Ray 3
Um ein Haar hätte ihr letzter Erkundungszug in Damrow ein tragisches Ende für Mary genommen. Aber einmal mehr hat sich gezeigt, wie kampferprobt Haruhiros Gruppe mittlerweile auftritt. Dank der anfänglichen Schwierigkeiten mit Mary hat nun jeder Einzelne seinen Platz innerhalb der Gemeinschaft gefunden. Sogar die Freikorps-Abzeichen konnten sie sich endlich kaufen. Doch die vielen Beutezüge in Damrow haben die Goblins derart in Kampfbereitschaft versetzt, dass Haruhiro gezwungen ist, nach neuen Jagdgebieten zu suchen. Obwohl alle wissen, was Mary damals Schreckliches in der Cyrene-Mine widerfahren ist, soll eben jene ihr nächstes Ziel werden. Dafür muss sich Mary aber endlich ihrer abgrundtiefen Furcht vor diesem Ort und vor Death Spot, der sie dort erwartet, stellen. Was vermag die Gruppe im Angesicht dieses übermächtigen Feindes auszurichten?Die Adaption der Light Novel wurde von A-1 Pictures – spätestens seit Sword Art Online und Fairy Tail eine echte Instanz in der Fantasy-Riege – in einem einzigartigen Stil kunstvoll in Szene gesetzt.- Shop: odax
