The Monument of Memmius(Ephesus)
In the third quarted of the 1st century B.C. a monument of honor was constructed north of Domitian Square,at the north corner of Kuretes Street.It is one of the few architectural monuments dating from the Late Hellenistic Period that has survived to the present day at Ephesus.In this monument discovered in 1959/60,an inscription was found on the first level on an architrave which recorded the name Memmius in both Greek and Latin.The monument was erected in honor of C. Memmius,the nephew of the Roman dictator Sulla ,by Gaius Memmius,who was one of the prominent people of the city.Regarding the architectural finds made during these excavations,it was found that there was a structure above the pedestal,which had circular niches facing east,south and west.It is thought that the reliefs,which are embedded in the appropriate spaces between the columns on the walls of the Cella, concerned the prominent people of the Memmius family and the virtues of Memmius relations depicted in a personalized manner.It is possible that the oval structure ,adorned with garlands and bull capitals ,and the marble tile pieces ,which are displayed in proximity to this monument of honor ,also belonged to this structure.
