AQUEDUCT
OF SEXTILIUS POLLIO
This aqueduct, which brought water to Ephesus, was
constructed between 7 -15 AD. on orders by Sextilius
Pollio. The structure is 3.5 kilometers in length
and is today located at Derbent Creek, six miles
from the Selçuk-Aydın highway. It presents a
magnificent view as it climbs up the slopes of
Derbent along the creek. This two-storeyed structure
at Derbent brought water from Marnas to the large
fountain on the southwest of the State Agora in the
present ruins of Ephesus.
