Gate of Hadrian at Ephesus

7/11/2015

Comments

 
hadrian gate ephesus guideGate of Hadrian at Ephesus
drian's Gate also known as the New Triodos Gate was built in a central location between the Terrace Houses and the Library of Celsus. 

The Building of this spectacular 3 teared structure began during the reign of Emperor Trajan, most probably as a Triumphal monument and was then re-built after being damaged in the great earthquake in 262 AD.

Statues of Artemis, The Emperor and members of the Imperial family can be found in the Columns section on the Second tear.
the Road to the right of the Gate leads to the famous temple of Serapis, the Egyptian Deity.
The Gate's grand dimensions suggest that it may also have been used for religious and ceremonial purposes.
The Top tear of the structure reminiscent of the Hadrian Gate built in Athens, a few years later, has 3 openings with the central entry point being the widest to allow both chariots and pedestrians to pass through simultaneously.
