Temple of Hadrian, Roman temple in Ephesus, Turkey
The Temple of Hadrian features four Corinthian columns supporting a curved arch, with square columns positioned at both sides of the structure.
Built before 138 AD by P. Quintilius, the temple honors Emperor Hadrian who visited Ephesus from Athens in 128 AD during his empire-wide journey.
The friezes display scenes of Ephesus foundation, including Androklos hunting a boar and ceremonial processions featuring Dionysus and the Amazons.
The temple stands on Curetes Street near the Library of Celsus, with the original friezes now preserved in the Ephesus Museum.
A pedestal in front of the temple contained inscriptions marking the base for statues of four Roman emperors from 293-305 CE.
