This was a marvelous structure on
Curate's Avenue. In was erected in 138 at the latest. It forms a simple
naos structure with a plain monumental pronaos. At the front of the
pronaos are four Corinthian columns with triangular capitals. There was an
arch over the two central columns. In the center of the arch was a bust of
the city goddess Tyche.
The lentils of the temple door were
decorated with pearl and egg motifs. The
semicircular
capital over the door there is a likeness of Medusa amidst acanthus leaves
and flowers. The frieze on original lentil over the pronaos door is in the
museum. When the temple was being restored copies were used in its place.
The frieze is of four parts, the first three include gods and goddesses;
Andorcles, the protector of Ephesus. Hunting wild boar; Amazon goddesses,
and Amazons with Dionysius. The fourth part has Athena, the moon goddess
Selene, a male Apollos, a female figure, Androcles, Heracles, and the wife
and son of Theodosius. It is thought that this fourth block was taken from
elsewhere and used here.

The temple was dedicated to the
emperor Hadrian by P. Quintillus in 138. The inscription is on the
architrave. Four pedestals with inscriptions were found in front of the
columns. The inscriptions show the same date and held four statues of
Roman emperors, being Diocletian, Maximam, Constantine Chlorus and
Galerius.
