Ephesus State Agora October 2015 2662.jpg

view map

In the western part of the State Agora there is a peripteral temple on a 23 x 15 m podium with 6 x 10 columns and additional columns at the front. Most probably this temple was erected at the time of Emperor Augustus or Tiberius, in ca. AD 15. The building is interpreted as a sanctuary of the Association of the Roman Citizens in honour of Divus Caesar and Dea Roma or of Augustus. The building was completely torn down in the late antique period.
