Ephesus - Arkadiane

To the west of the baths lay the Old Harbor of Ephesus, now an area of marshy ground. Immediately south of this group of buildings is the Arkadiane, a fine arcaded street running east from the harbor to the Great Theater, which stood facing a long square. The effect of this magnificent avenue, which was built by Arcadius, the first Eastern Emperor, about A.D. 400 and which is lit at night, was further enhanced by an elaborate gate at either end.
