Summary
| Description | This ruin on the Street of Curetes in Ephesus is probably the best we have seen so far. These are the remains of the beautiful Temple of Hadrian. This is one of the main attractions at Ephesus, with a beautiful arch on the front facade and interesting reliefs of Medusa and other scenes inside. An inscription tells us the temple was erected around 118 AD by one Publius Quintilius (who is otherwise unknown). You can see the bas relief of Medusa (the lady with snakes for her hair (eeeeewwww!) dead centre, on the interior lintel just below the arch. The name 'Temple of Hadrian' is not really accurate, as it is more a monument than a temple, and was dedicated not only to Hadrian but also Artemis and the people of Ephesus. The temple was partially destroyed in the 4th century, and it was during the course of restorations that the four decorative reliefs were added to the lintels of the interior of the porch.
