Harbour Street |

The avenue from the theater to the harbor was called
the Arcadian Avenue. Arcadius the son of the emperor
of the Eastern Roman Empire, Theodosius (395-408),
erected an inscription upon restoring the avenue to
its present condition, hence the name of the avenue.
The avenue is 500 m long and 11 m wide. On either side were covered shops
in mosaic-floored porches.
The avenue was first built in the 1st century BC and was an avenue for
parades. Highways coming from central Anatolia ended
here. There were many visitors coming from over the
seas with emperors and proconsuls entering the city
via this avenue. The pictures below show several
views of the avenue. |
