Fountain of Trajen was built to the north end of Curetes Street on the east side next to the Hadrian Temple. It is considered to be one of the three most magnificent fountains of Ephesus. It had two ornamental pools, one in the front and one at the rear. The upper level pool was surrounded with Corinthian style columns. Water flowed from a pillar on which rested a colossal statue of Emperor Trajan. This pillar was at the very center of the largest ornamental pool. An inscription at the base stated that the world rested at the emperor’s feet. A lower, narrower pool surrounded with Composite style columns was located directly beneath the pool that held the emperor’s statue. After water filled the top pool, it would flow from the channel into the front pool where the people of Ephesus would have pulled it from the fountain. This pool housed a statue of Aphrodite, one of Dionysos nude and one of the god clothed, and a young hunter symbolizing the founder of the city, Androklos.
