Since in the first two centuries AD Ephesus had a population of around 500,000 and was an important political and trade center it is unlikely that there was not one single worshiper of Bacchus there, given the Roman presence.
Ephesus is however particularly noted for its devotion to the goddess Diana (otherwise known as Artemis), whose temple was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. This indicates that this god was popular given the great cost in building this enormous public structure, which excavations have revealed was 239 feet wide and 418 feet long (the temple platform), the roof being supported by 117 60 foot high columns.
The picture of the riot which followed the preaching of the Christian message by Paul in the Book of Acts (see 19:13) indicates that the worship of this goddess supported a flourishing industry for those who made images and who then saw their livelihood being threatened by this new 'imageless' religion.
