Marble Street in Ephesus

The Marble Street (Latin: Via Marmorea) was one of the most impressive roads of ancient Ephesus, connecting the Great Theatre (on the slopes of Mount Pion) with the square in front of the Library of Celsus. Paved with white marble, this grand thoroughfare served not only as a transport route but also as a ceremonial promenade, reflecting the wealth and grandeur of the city during the Roman period (1st–3rd centuries AD).
