The so-called Heracles Gate bordered the Curetes Street to the east. Its present appearance derives from late antique adaptations, & the appearance of the imperial gateway cannot be reconstructed anymore. Both pillars, decorated with representations of Heracles, severely narrowed the passage-way & blocked the street for wagon traffic. Above the pillars there was an arch complemented with a building inscription. Nikal (figures of Victory) with laurel wreaths & palm branches stood in the spandrels of the arch.
