Subject Information	The other principal artery, the Arkadiane, named in honour of Emperor Arkadios (reigned 395-408) was about 500 m long, marble-paved and flanked by covered colonnades decorated by geometric floor mosaics and terminated by a monumental gateway at the harbour. About halfway along the street stood four massive columns upon which stood statues of the four evangelists. The street is a typical if grandiose example of late Roman city planning.
