The jewel in the crown of the Roman Empire, Emperor Augustus declared it 'the one city from all of Asia that I have selected to be my own.' Built near a marble quarry, the city boasted fine buildings and monuments constructed from fine marble, and its renowned sculptor's workshop produced a vast array of exquisite statues. But there was more to Aphrodisias than elegant architecture and sophisticated culture. It supported a thriving fertility cult devoted to the goddess Aphrodite.
