Abstract


We study the epigraphy from Ephesus related with the educative institutions of the city during Hellenistic and Imperial times, including the periodization of the educative process, the nature and character of schools, teachers and other personnel in charge, the social activities like festivals and agonistic competitions that portray different aspects of formal education, institutions like the Museum and Celsus' Library. Our study shows that there was a public involvement in the education of the youths, at least those belonging to the upper classes, and also that there existed in the city a special solicitude for culture, contrary to the opinion that relied on the absence of literary texts documenting such care, and in the study of the same epigraphical texts in isolation of each other.
