Library, Asclepium, Pergamon, Bergama, Izmir, Turkey
North Portico of the library, 2nd century AD, at the Asclepium or Sanctuary of Asclepius 3km from the acropolis of Pergamon, modern-day Bergama, Izmir, Turkey. A row of Ionic columns with capitals marks the site of the library. The Asclepium is named after the god of healing and housed a sacred spring where people could bathe and cure their illnesses. It was reached from the acropolis along a 820m colonnaded sacred way. Galen, the most famous doctor in the Roman Empire and physician of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, worked in the Asclepium for many years. Picture by Manuel Cohen
