As a matter of fact, it was revealed that the ruins of the propylon (*) on the west side, i.e., the side of the seaport, belong to the Hellenistic period. The columned monument bearing the statue of the four disciples and called the &#8220;<strong>Four Disciples Monument<\/strong>,&#8221; was added to a point near the middle of Arkadiane. On both sides of this marble-covered street with a width of 11 meters and a length of 600 meters, were the mosaic-coated pavements shaded by the stoas, which were formed by the roofs placed on the 5-meter-high columns. The rows of shops were located behind these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"845\" height=\"561\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bestephesustours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/harbour-street-from-ephesus-theater.webp\" alt=\"Harbour Street from Great Theather of Ephesus\" class=\"wp-image-893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bestephesustours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/harbour-street-from-ephesus-theater.webp 845w, https:\/\/www.bestephesustours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/harbour-street-from-ephesus-theater-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.bestephesustours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/harbour-street-from-ephesus-theater-768x510.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Harbour Street from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestephesustours.com\/blog\/ephesus-amphitheater-grand-theater-of-ephesus.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Great Theather of Ephesus<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-an-inscription-about-taxes-found\">An Inscription About Taxes Found<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This street has a perfect drainage system on its sides and below its ground, and being illuminated also at night, was certainly one of the most important places in the city, with respect to commerce and many other aspects.
