The studies were presented at a spring 1994 Harvard Divinity School symposium on Ephesos, focusing on the results of one hundred years of archaeological work at Ephesos by members of the Austrian Archaeological Institute.
Since very little about the Austrian excavations at Ephesos has been published in English, this volume should prove useful in introducing the archaeology of this metropolis to a wider readership.

This particular drum was traditionally associated with Skopas on stylistic grounds, but it would be a remarkable coincidence if the only reasonably preserved drum should be his work.
If, however, we are to believe that Skopas was involved with the sculptural programme at the Mausoleum at Halikarnassos in Karia, it is possible that he and his workshop moved on to another major commission at Ephesos.
