Curates Street |
|
| |
|
|
| |
 In
mythology the curates were demi-gods, a name which
was used for a priestly class in Ephesus. They
formed the largest cultic union in the city. The
street that took its name from the curates leads
down to the Celsus Library. Because it is the
central street in the city there are many monumental
edifices that face onto the street. There were
mosaics and galleries of columns on either side of
the street. These galleries led into shops and
homes. Some of the column pedestals bore
inscriptions reminding citizens of those who had
helped the city. For example there was a statue next
to the Gate of Heracles to the doctor Alexandros.
The statue of Consul Stephanos on display in the
Ephesus Museum was found on this street. The street
was paved with marble and had a well-developed sewer
system underneath. |
