Hi all, recently I came across some beautiful artwork of a reconstruction of this roman fountain (seen in last photo). I liked it very much so decided to try and recreate it in minecraft I think it came out rarther nice and wanted to share it with you!


The "Fountain of Trajan" in Ephesus has long been considered as one of the early examples of public fountain architecture in Roman Asia Minor that features a monumental aedicular façade. Discovered by the former excavation director Franz Miltner in 1957, this building is prominently located in the middle section of the Curetes Street in the city center. The importance of the Nymphaeum Traiani lies not in its function as a fountain. It rather represents a celebration of its benefactors Ti. Claudius Aristion and Iulia Lydia Laterane. The architectural form of this structure, especially its aedicular façade, is hardly necessary or suited for the withdrawal of drinking water. Instead, its architectural form provides an excellent venue for the purpose of self-representation of the Roman elite in Asia Minor. In short, the Nymphaeum Traiani is a monument that can be seen as a dedication to the honor of its donors and their contribution to the city of Ephesus as well as their ties to the Roman emperor.


Feel free to use this build for whatever you like just leave some credits :)
