In the southeast of Ephesos was an odeon at a public agora with colonnade. The odeon was a also a bouleuterion for public meetings of the city council. At the west end of the public agora was a temple built for the emperor Domitian. At the entrance of the square leading to the temple was a nymphaeum with statues, reliefs and inscriptions. The Memmius monument nearby was built by a grandson of the emperor Sulla in memory of his family.

Passing the Hercules gate one desends Curetes street which was paved with marble stone slabs. At the right side of the street was a nymphaeum of the emperor Trajan. Further down the street was a temple of the emperor Hadrian which was restored in the fourth century AD. Some of the reliefs in the upper section depicted the imperial family of emperor Theodosius. Behind the temple was a public bath house with latrines.

Down at the end of Curetes Street was the library of Celsus a former governor of Asia Minor. The library had two stories with columns, statues and friezes.
