If you know Jacob, you know he's not fond of ruins, but he was excited about Ephesus, and we both really enjoyed it. During Roman times it was the second-largest city in the Roman Empire and an important commercial center. 
We were also interested in visiting Ephesus because of Paul the Apostle’s time there in the New Testament. Also, it’s widely accepted that Mary (mother of Jesus) spent the rest of her life near Ephesus after Jesus’ death. [We did visit the supposed site of her house, but it wasn’t even picture-worthy.] 
Below, Jacob scaled the wall to give this statue a head; and (below that) as I was contemplating how to get off the column, Jacob took a photo where you can see a good angle of the baby bump.
