Tiberius Square. The area between Cardo Maximus, which passes through the east of Central Church and Propylon is named Tiberius Square. The area, which is dated to 25-50 AD, measures 30 x 70 m. Its central situation and close proximity to the sacred area shows that this place was the heart of urban life. As understood from the finds from the excavation of the shops behind the porticos on each side of the square, there were food and drink shops. A shield-shaped block on the east edge of the arena in front of the Propylon bears an inscription formed from bronze letters and reads “Titus Baebius Asiaticus, son of Titus of the tribe Sergia, Aedile (mayor) paved 3000 feet from his own money. “ It seems to be still in place, I managed to miss it.
