Domition Fountain |
|
| |
|
|
| |
 The
fountain is on the east of Domitian Square, on the
western edge of the agora. This is a splendid
structure with a small pool and a large arch
supporting a triangular capital. The water came from
the agora through a semicircular apsidal in the
wall. In the pool on a pedestal was a Polyphemos
statue group, which is not on display in the Ephesus
Museum. The statues were originally on the Temple to
Isis, which later fell into ruin.
The statues were then transferred to the fountain. The theme of the
statues is the adventures of Polyphemus with the son
of Poseidon after he moved to the Aegean following
the Trojan Wars. According to an inscription on the
fountain, it was built in 97 AD by C. Sextilius
Pollio. |
