Temple of Hadrian is one of the best-preserved and most beautiful structures on Curetes Street. It was built before 138 A.D by P. Quintilius and was dedicated to Emperor Hadrian, who came to visit the city from Athens in 128 A.D. The facade of the temple has four Corinthian columns supporting a curved arch, in the middle of which contains a relief of Tyche, goddess of victory. The side columns are square. The pedestal with inscriptions in front of the temple is the bases for the statues of the emperors between 293-305 CE, Diocletian, Maximian, Constantius I, and Galerius; the originals of the statues have not been found yet.

Inside the Hadrian Temple above the door, a human figure, probably Medusa stands with ornaments of acanthus leaves. On both sides, there are friezes depicting the story of the foundation of Ephesus - Androklos shooting a boar, Dionysus in ceremonial procession and the Amazons. The fourth frieze portrays two male figures, one of which is Apollo; Athena, goddess of the moon; a female figure, Androkles, Herakles, the wife and son of Theodosius and the goddess Athena. The friezes that are seen today are copies, and the originals are displayed in Ephesus Museum.

Emperor Hadrian was one of the Five Good Emperors. The Five Good Emperors is a term that refers to five consecutive emperors of the Roman Empire— Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, and Marcus Aurelius. The term is first coined by the political philosopher, Niccolò Machiavelli in 1532. Publius Aelius Hadrianus was born on 24 January AD 76, probably in Rome, though his family lived in...

Bana göte antik kentin en güzel 4. yapısı. Fotoğrafını çekebilmek için çok sabırlı olmanız gerekmektedir.

Tapınak Efesteki en güzel yapılardan biridir. Kuretler caddesinde bulunan Hadrian Tapınağı’nın bu yerine sonradan taşındığı düşünülmektedir. M.S 138’de P. Quintilius tarafından İmparator Hadrian’a adanmıştır. Tapınağın ön yüzünde Korint tarsi dört adet sütun, bu sütunlar üzerine oturtulmuş bir kemer ve kemerin kilit taşı denen en ortasındaki taşıyıcı taşın üzerinde de talih tanrıçası Fortuna’nın kabartması bulunmaktadır.

Kapının üstündeki Hadrian Tapınağı'nın içinde, bir insan figürü, muhtemelen Medusa akantus yapraklarından süslemelerle duruyor. Her iki yanda Efes'in kuruluş hikayesini anlatan frizler - Androklos'un yaban domuzu, Dionysos'un tören alayı ve Amazonlar. Dördüncü frizde biri Apollon olmak üzere iki erkek figürü; Athena, ay tanrıçası; bir kadın figürü, Androkles, Herakles, Theodosius ve tanrıça Athena'nın karısı ve oğlu. Bugün görülen frizler kopya olup, orijinalleri Efes Müzesi'nde sergilenmektedir.

Tapınağın kapısının üzerindeki kemerin ön yüzünde halen kim olduğu tartışılan, elleri iki yana açık, kuyruğu olan ve kıvırcık saçlı bir insan figürü vardır. Bu figür kimine göre yılan başlı Medusa, kimine göre çiçek ve bitkilerin tanrıçası Flora, kimine göre ise Hadrian’ın eşidir.

Hadrian

Hadrian, karışık cinsel ilgileri olan bir adam gibi görünüyor. Historia Augusta onun hem yakışıklı genç erkeklerden hoşlanmasını hem de evli kadınlarla yaptığı zinaları eleştirir. Karısını zehirlemeye çalıştığına inanılır. Hadrian'ın eşcinselliği söz konusu olduğunda, hesaplar belirsiz ve belirsiz kalıyor. Dikkatlerin çoğu, Hadrian'ın çok sevdiği genç Antinous'a odaklanır. Antinous'un heykelleri hayatta kaldı ve bu gençliğin imparatorluk himayesinin ondan heykeller yapılmasına kadar uzandığını gösteriyor. MS 130'da Antinous, Hadrian'a Mısır'a eşlik etti. Antinous erken ve biraz gizemli bir ölümle karşılaştığında Nil'de bir gezideydi. Resmi olarak, tekneden düştü ve boğuldu.

Hadrian, 138 yılında Temmuz ayının onuncu günü, 62 yaşında Baiae'deki villasında öldü. Ancak, hayatının bu kadar çoğunu seyahat ederek geçiren adam henüz yolculuğunun sonuna ulaşmamıştı. Önce Baiae yakınlarındaki Puteoli'de, bir zamanlar Cicero'ya ait olan bir araziye gömüldü. Kısa bir süre sonra, kalıntıları Roma'ya nakledildi ve neredeyse tamamlanmış türbenin yakınında, Domitia Bahçeleri'ne gömüldü. Halefi Antoninus Pius tarafından 139 yılında Roma'da Hadrian Mezarı'nın tamamlanmasının ardından, cesedi yakıldı ve külleri, karısı Vibia Sabina ve ilk evlatlık oğlu Lucius Aelius'unkilerle birlikte oraya yerleştirildi. 138. Antoninus da onu 139'da tanrılaştırdı ve Campus Martius'ta bir...
