Ephesus
Partially restored arch remains of the fountain of Pollio. This was built around 92 AD. By C. Sextilius Pollio, a rich Ephesian who also financed the building of Basilica Stoa. Water for fountains in the Ephesus Ancient City was brought by a system of Aqueducts from 3 main source rivers and was provided free of charge to citizens. Various statues adorned this fountain including one of Zeus and the River God Marnas. A group statue of Odysseus and Polyphemus stood on the basin of the fountain.Right next to the Fountain there was a Crypt Tomb was placed as a final resting place for Pollio himself.
