Ephesus Harbor Street 430 with people

In Acts 19:23-41, a “great disturbance about the Way” is recorded. Paul’s Gospel message caused a silversmith named Demetrius to become concerned that the worship of Artemis in Ephesus might suffer harm if the church continued to grow. Demetrius likely sold replicas of Artemis in the commercial agora of the city or along Harbor Street, which connected the agora with the city’s harbor. You can use this long (4:36) video as a backdrop to your description of travelers, merchants, and sailors coming and going. Harbor Street connected Ephesus to the world.
