Brothel
A peristyle house on the corner of Curetes Street and Marble Road is known as the brothel because, in the excavations, a statue of Priapus with an oversize phallus was found in the house. The statue is now presented in Ephesus Museum. The construction of the building dates to the Trajan (98-117 A.D.) It has two entrances, one from Marble Road and one from Curetes Street. It has a hall on the first floor, and on the second floor, there is a number of small rooms. On the west side of the house, there is a reception area with colored mosaics on the floor, symbolizing the four-season. The chamber next to it is the house's bath with an elliptical pool. On the pool floor, there is a mosaic describing three women eating and drinking, a waitress standing, a mouse, and a cat nibbling crumbs.

Arcadian Way
This street is situated between the Harbour Baths and the Ephesus Great Theatre. Entering from the port, traders and sailors would first arrive on this street. So it was designed gorgeously with marble slabs and colonnades. It was constructed in the Hellenistic Period but was restored during the reign of Emperor Arcadius (395-408 AD.), from whom it takes its present name.

Temple of Domitian
The temple, built in the pro-style plan, had eight columns on the short side and thirteen columns on the long side, and four additional columns in front of the cella. On the northern side, there was an u-shaped altar, which is now displayed in Izmir museum. It was during the reign of Domitian that an emperor gave permission to build an Emperor Temple; that is the permission to be the 'neocoros' for the first time, which was a great honor for a city.
